I am developing a control to go into a new tab on the content area in the back office. Through this control the user is able to upload a zip file and after hitting the upload button a lengthy process will start, creating content nodes among other things.
My question is how can I show some kind of progress to the user while the process is busy? Something like the counting of items when you publish a node including all its children. There is a small difference though: my control is not using the modal dialog functionality as it's getting loaded by Umbraco directly into the right pane.
I've tried a couple of things already with UpdatePanel/UpdateProgress stuff but nothing seems to work correctly (or I am doing something terribly wrong, one of two...).
my 2 cents: there might be a solution using UpdatePanels, yet my bet would be to write your own AJAX functionality that reports back the progress. Maybe have a look at the Umbraco source code how the deletion of the recycle bin has been done?
Feedback during a lengthy process!

Your thoughts please...
