Hi

I am currently having a bit of an issue.

I have a program that when a user select a zip file to upload to the database, the file is unzipped all the text files are read and the files then deleted.

Problem i am having is the text files are huge upto 300kb per text files so naturally the process is slow because of the quantity of data.

the process is as follows
User selects a file
once the file is selected clicks a button to update the database
the process that runs once the button is clicked is
the files get unzipped to a holding folder.
the .txt files are then read changed to .old and once all the files have been read they are deleted.

How could i show my users on the screen that the proccess is running and x amount of records have been updated after either every 30seconds or after a file has been read?

You could show the upload progress based on file size but upload progress based on file content(like how many lines progressed)? I won't say impossible but that'll take lot of work. Check this article
ASP.NET File Upload with Progress Bar[^]
