Hi,
I am new to EO and jsut trying out the Progress Bar control.
Currently I have some slow code in the Page_Load event. I would like to update the progress bar throughout this event as the task progresses. It may be that I have to move this code to a progress event and use "RunTask" from the "Page_load" event. Howeve I cannot find any documentation on how to do this?
So conceptually:
Sub Page_Load
Initiate Progress Bar
UpdateProgressBar(0) or Runtask(...)????
Do Task1
UpdateProgressBar(50) or Runtask(...)????
Do Task2
UpdateProgressBar(100) or Runtask(...)????
End Page_Load
Any ideas please.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
Please let us know whether you have a license. We do not provide free support on our free controls. Sorry about it!
Thanks

Hi,
I was rather hoping that you would have be more helpful since this is my first experience of your components. Incidentally when I first installed your suite the install crashed my laptop so I have to do a system restore to pre EssentialObjects which got it back. So second time round I just dropped the EO.Web.dll in the bin folder.
So some help might warm me to your company.....
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
You want to try to install as an administrator to see if it works. Our installer does not do anything special except for registering the DLL with Visual Studio --- if you have them on your system. So my guess is that your system is already having problems before the install. Nevertheless, you can copy EO.Web.dll in the bin folder if you do not use Visual Studio. If you wish to use it inside Visual Studio, then you must run the installer.
We will be more than happy to help you getting it working on non-free controls. But we can not afford to offer free support on free controls. So support on those controls is only available to licensed users.
Thanks!

Pretty disappointed about this since activating a progress bar from a page_load event would be a typical use case in addition to activating from a button.
This would be a very helpful addition to your documentation for all, as well to me to get any usage out of this component.
It would be very appreciated if you could oblige.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Hi,
We appreciate your feedback....but....we are not a free service. We have several free components that we hope you would find useful, and if it doesn't fit your need, you may want to look elsewhere. I am sure many other users have a lot of other ideas about how to make the ProgressBar more useful or easier to use, but if we were to answer all those, then we would probably have ended up selling it instead of offering it for free because the additional cost associated with maintaining and improving such a product.
The ProgressBar has powerful core features and can be used in various scenarios (including yours) with some additional coding. We are able to offer it for free because we only maintain the core features so that its stable enough, and relies the user themselves to implement everything that may not be there out of box. Due to the cost issue involved, that position is unlikely to change.
Hope this clarifies our position. This issue is now closed.
Thanks
