progress bar with steps windows application c# code example

Example: c# console progress bar

// Repeat
private static string Repeat(string str, int times) {
    return string.Concat(Enumerable.Repeat(str, times));
}

// Progress Bar
private static void ProgressBar(int progress, int total, int chunks = 30, ConsoleColor completeColour = ConsoleColor.Green, ConsoleColor remainingColour = ConsoleColor.Gray, string symbol = "■", bool showPercent = true) {
	//Draw Blank Progress Bar
	Console.CursorLeft = 0;
	Console.Write("  [");
	Console.CursorLeft = chunks + 3;
	Console.Write("]");
	Console.CursorLeft = 3;
	float chunk = (float) chunks / total;

	// Chunk Calculations
	double completeRaw = Math.Ceiling((double) chunk * progress);
	int complete = (int) Math.Ceiling((double) chunk * progress);
	int remaining = chunks - complete;

	// Draw Progress
	Console.ForegroundColor = completeColour;
	Console.Write(Repeat(symbol, complete));
	Console.ForegroundColor = remainingColour;
	Console.Write(Repeat(symbol, remaining));

	// Show Percent
	Console.CursorLeft = chunks + 4;
	Console.ResetColor();
	if (showPercent) {
		int percent = (int) ((float) progress / (float) total * 100);
		Console.Write($" {Repeat(" ", 3 - percent.ToString().Length)}{percent} %");
	}
