Need more information.
Since you say upload, it appears you are creating a web application; is that correct?
How are you uploading? (show or explain code)
To where are you uploading? ...

I was wrong to have mentioned upload..however my application is a windows application and I have to import excel and text files onto the database..I m able to import this data into the database using ADO and ..was just thinking of showing the import progress to the users lest my application doesnt look static......
I would not like to use the guestimation method wherein we use a timer and progressbar control for an estimated period of time....
Wat i would want is for eg...While importing an excel file of arould 1000 rows..i would like to show the percent of data imported or rows imported in the progress bar......Hope I m clear this time...
Apologies to not makin it clear earlier...

I too would like to know about progress bars. In my case i'm uploading/downloading a file from my windows application onto a FTP server.

I'll post code once i've sorted it and got it working
