Progress bar for long running server calls in ASP.Net MVC [closed]

Answer 1

I had a long running service for that, I have given a basic idea below. Use it as per your requirements.

1. I made a structure of the progress arguments ProgressArgs
2. In the long running service LongRunningProcess(), updated the progress values at regular interval and saved in JSON format in the database
3. Created a Action method getProgress() which will return a JSON string progress by ajax.
4. Created a function Javascript getProgress() function which once started will call the server at regular intervals for progress till the process is completed.

I have given a rough example to implement it. Hope it may help you.

The class for progress arguments structure

public class ProgressArgs
{
    public int Completed { get; set; }
    public int Total { get; set; }
    public int Percentage { get; set; }
    public string Status { get; set; }
}

In the Process I kept on updating the stats in the database

    public void LongRunningProcess()
    {

        ProgressArgs result = new ProgressArgs();
        result.Completed = 0;
        result.Total = userList.Count;
        foreach (var item in itemList)
        {
           //Do Some processing which u want to do

            result.Total++;
            result.Percentage = (result.Completed * 100) / result.Total;
            result.Status = "Processing";
            string strToSave = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(result);
            //update the strToSave to the database somewhere.
        }

        //after completing of processing
        result.Total++;
        result.Percentage = (result.Completed * 100) / result.Total;
        result.Status = "Completed";
        string strToSave = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(result);
        //update the strToSave to the database somewhere.

    }

The C# Action to get the progress by ajax

    public string getProgress()
    {    
        string strJSON = config.GetValue("progress");  //Get stats from the database which is saved in json
        return strJSON;
    }

The Javascript Code

//Ajax Get Progress function
    function getProgress() {
        var dataToSend = '';
        $.ajax({
            url: '@Url.Action("getProgress")', //Link to the action method
            type: 'POST',
            contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
            data: dataToSend,
            success: function (response) {
                console.log(response);
                if (response != null) {
                    data = JSON.parse(response);
                    console.log(data);
                    //update the progressbar
                    progressbar.progressbar("value", data.Percentage);
                    //When the jobalert status is completed clear the interval
                    if (data.Status == 0) {
                        setTimeout(getProgress, 800); //TImout function to call the respective function at that time
                    }
                    serviceCompleted(data); function to call after completing service
                }
            },
            error: function (xhr) {
                alert('Error: There was some error while posting question. Please try again later.');
            }
        });
    }
