Long process problem

[s2001]

Hello All,
I have asp.net 2.0 web page which calls a method. This method excutes multiple store procedures. The whole process may take somewhere between 15-20 mins to complete.
What happens is after a minute IE navigates away from the page to its default error page (Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage..blah blah)...But the process is still running in the background (I have checked that)

I suspect that page is timing out...do you guys know of this problem...does anybody know how to increase the page time out in 2.0 asp.

TIA
Murali

Thanks,

That's a very long time for a page to execute and I wouldn't recommend doing it. Instead, try using a web service.

With a web service, you can return status codes at various intervals so that your page simply kicks off the process and then refreshes to show the current status. This way, it's irrelvant how long the process takes as the page isn't hanging around waiting for it to finish.

I tried to use web service but with no sucess.

Here's what i did I added a .asmx file in the project and added the method to it. In the web page i created an instance of the service and called the method.

'in the webpage
Dim servmethod As New services
servmethod.RefreshData()

Services.asmx
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function RefreshData() As Integer

Try
Dim adminDS As New AdminDACL
adminDS.RefreshData()
Return 0
Catch ex As Exception
Return 1
End Try
End Function
