looping and displaying progress with every iteration

This should be an easy one, but I'm not sure the best way to do it.

I've got a form, and when I click a button it starts looping through an
array. With each iteration of the array I want it to change the status of a
label.

I realise that it must complete the execution of the code-behind page before
it can update the labels, so how do I do it?

TIA, BruceI have a couple of approaches on my website tackling this. Essentially, you
want to create a progress bar of sorts.

Thanks Alvin

What I was wanting to do was loop through some code in my VB (code behind
page). The loop is actually going through 15 or so web services (which take
up to 2 minutes each), so on each iteration of the loop (for each
webservice) I wanted to let the user know what the status was of each web
service call.

I'm about to re-write the page using an array and a datagrid. I'll be
letting the page complete, checking for what is to happen next, execute the
method, update label, let page reload, etc, etc.

So I can't have the page reload every 2 seconds. Firstly because the web
service method that I'm calling returns a true value, and I have to wait for
it to be returned.
