Reporting Progress from Async Tasks c# code example

Example 1: Reporting Progress from Async Tasks c#

using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
 
namespace ProgressBarDemo
{
    public partial class Form3 : Form
    {
        public Form3()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

                Thread.Sleep(100);
                if (progress != null)

            });
            await Task.Run(() => DoSomething(progress));
        }

Example 2: Reporting Progress from Async Tasks c#

public async Task DownloadFileAsync(string fileName, IProgress<int> progress)
{
  using (var fileStream = ...) // Open local file for writing
  using (var ftpStream = ...) // Open FTP stream
  {
    while (true)
    {
      var bytesRead = await ftpStream.ReadAsync(...);
      if (bytesRead == 0)
        return;
      await fileStream.WriteAsync(...);
      if (progress != null)
        progress.Report(bytesRead);
    }
  }
}

Example 3: Reporting Progress from Async Tasks c#

public async void StartProcessingButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  // The Progress<T> constructor captures our UI context,
  //  so the lambda will be run on the UI thread.
  var progress = new Progress<int>(percent =>
  {
    textBox1.Text = percent + "%";
  });

  // DoProcessing is run on the thread pool.
  await Task.Run(() => DoProcessing(progress));
  textBox1.Text = "Done!";
}

public void DoProcessing(IProgress<int> progress)
{
  for (int i = 0; i != 100; ++i)
  {
    Thread.Sleep(100); // CPU-bound work
    if (progress != null)
      progress.Report(i);
  }
