How to show real time counter in asp.net

Question

I want to process some records one by one , Need to show record number on .aspx page that currently we are processing nth record.
Setting value of nth record in a label does not work as it will be reflecting only after response come back from server (it does not get refreshed for every record - looks like freezing )

Answer 1

You can use different techniques:

• Do server pulling via AJAX request by in some period. Good answered question on this topic - Server polling with JavaScript
• Use SignalR to send changes back to client when there was changes on server. You can read about it more here: How SignalR works internally?

Choose one that is applicable in your case
