How To: Create long running operations

All your code that runs for a long time is placed between begin and end.

Below is a sample class.

It is almost to simple and just works

SPLongOperation is IDisposable, and should be called inside using statement, or manually disposed.


using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace CreateLongOperation
{
public class LongRun : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected Button buttonOk;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
buttonOk.Click += new EventHandler(buttonOk_Click);
}

void buttonOk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (SPLongOperation operation = new SPLongOperation(this.Page))

{

operation.Begin();

// do long operation code here...
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(6000);

operation.End(http://sps/_layouts/Mynewpage.aspx);

}
}
}
}
