Web Service

Hi,

I'm new in aspx an new in web services. i made a few web services as test and works fine. I have the following situation :

I have a process that needs 30 min to run. I launch the process using asp.net in a web page. This process consist in charge a table in a SQL database from a TXT file, and make some actions.

My question is : can i use a web service as batch procesing to do that charge and let the browser free so the usr can do other task?

Thk's

:thumb:not sure but one suggestion, a poor one, would be to use frames in the browser.
you could do threading but do not think ASP.NET has that, unless im mistaken :)
Do you mean you need an Asynchronous Web Service? Does the web service need to return a result to the user?
