We are using the ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib library to zip files within out site no problem, this is used when we want to consolidate report files and download off the server. A new request has come in to now unzip uploaded zip files from our managers. So we would like to take advantage of the same library which shows it can do that, but here is my dilema.
#1 - can we use this same library to do the unzipping in the background and not keep the user on the same page during the process?
#2 - Maybe like other sites, open a popup that is tied to the unzipping process and just have that open in the corner which would allow them to still move around the site without causing the unzipping to close unless they close the popup..
Or is there better ways to allow the unzipping and still show them it was completed?
Suggestions, links anything would help..
thanks
