Splash screen on page

My web app will be sending multiple emails. this could be processor intensive and i want to display a splash screen while this is generating and sending the personnalised emails.

How do i add a splash screen while this is happening?

I tried a simple Response.Flush() before the bulk of the code, but *shrugs*

Also can i implement this to a user control and not a page? As my app is all user controls

Cheers

Do the processor intensive part in a separate thread, and redirect to a page that refreshes itself every so often and checks whether that thread is done.

Response.Flush really doesn't work anymore like it did in ASP since ASP.net does all the processing work before it generates any html. There are plenty of solutions available on the internet/EE that demonstrate "Please Wait" examples, here is one:
