Sending mail in background in asp.net website

I have a Asp.net Ajax website designed using AjaxControlToolkit and update panel. Inside update panel i have a button to send mail to the user on click of this button. My mail content has a big info with some attachments which takes more time to send mail. So i have to do this mailing process in background so that website will be responsive after clicking on send mail button. After sending mail i have to notify user of the mailing status.

Any suggesion is most welcome. Thanks in advance.

In this case you need to create separate thread that sends mail .

Hi,
Take a label control inside update panel and set it's property visible=false and Text="Your Message To user.".
now go to ur code (.cs or .vb) page and after finishing the code for sending the mail set label property visible=true.

Thanks

check out "Beginning ASP.nET 3.5 in C# and VB" by Imar Spaanjaars. He has a pretty good example how to send email .
