AJAX文件上传

I have a control for uploading an image and above it is an image control. When User clicks 'Upload' button, image turns to an animated image displaying 'WAIT' message, after the image is uploaded, the image source changes to that image. I want to do this using simple AJAX, JAVASCRIPT (xmlHTTP objects) , ASP.NET, VB.NET. Can anyone help me out??? Don't wanna use iframe or flash besides above four.

for security reasons javascript/ajax can't access your local drive which is why this is limited to input file control or flash.. im afraid iframe or flash are your only choices.

there is also asp.net UpdatePanel which may be reliable enough for your needs..
