Generating report dynamically using ASP.NET AJAX

I've googled this to death and can't find anything that points me in the right direction so any help would be much appreciated!

I want to generate a report that consists of X no. of gridviews (X can vary) where each gridview is added one at a time using ajax (to avoid timeout of rendering all gridviews in single post back). I am also hoping that when rendering the next gridview a progress bar/timer can also appear in it's place until it's finished processing and is rendered.

Does anyone know how I might tackle this? I wouldn't have a problem doing this in a single post back but now the reports are timing out I need to generate the report piece by piece dynamically.

Thanks in advance!

Why don't you divide the page into different sections and load each section individually.

Are your gridviews interdependent..?

That sounds very similar to an idea I had yesterday evening but not sure if it's practical.The gridviews are independent so I will want each individual gridview to page, sort and work independently from the rest of the page.If I knew I was dealing with X no. of gridviews I could create X no. of iframes on my main page and within each iframe I could load a singe gridview. This would mean I could re-use the same page for each iframe.I'm just trying to come with a more efficient way of generating my reports instead of the usual single post back which is timing out.

Why not add Separate Panels containing GridView and each Panel will show loading image till the GridView is loaded with your data.

I assume you mean the ajax updatepanel? if so, since the no. of gridviews needed can vary, how can I dynamically add these to the page using ajax/clientscript where as you suggest, each one generates it's own gridview? Scenario being: Report page has loaded, I configure the parameters and then click create report. Below, depending on the parameters selected it will generate x no. of gridviews in sequence (each on loading indepedent on one another).Am I talking nonsense?
