Is it possible to return an ASP page before continuing slow server side work (eg logging)
<p>Is it possible to return the page response to the user, before you've finished all your server side work?</p>

<p>Ie, I've got a cheap hosting account with No database, but I'd like to log a certain event, by calling a webservice on my other, more expensive hosting account (ie, a very slow logging operation)</p>

<p>I don't really want the user to have to wait for this slow logging operation to complete before their page is rendered.</p>

<p>Would I need to spin up a new thread, or make an asynchronous call? Or is it possible to return the page, and then continue working happily in the same thread/code?</p>

<p>Using ASP.Net (webforms) C# .Net 2.0 etc.</p>
