Show progressbar from other class

Pablo Costa

I've a class with all my methods implemented , doing its job , etc.

Then i have my Form1 - where i have a FileSystemWatcher component and some buttons\checkboxes instances.

I've been reading about BackgroundWorker , ProgressBar , but i can't figure out who should i implement in order to show the progress.

Since "everything happens" inside the .cs file (my class), is there an way to display its output ? And how is the FileSystemWatcher going to interact with it (everything happens after i call the watch method - before that nothing is done).

example:

On my class, i've a function to Read Files , then another function for converting those files to XML. I would like to show the progress for each file being readed, then each file being converted. I got it done when i had a Console Application (found an method that did its job) but i can't understand how to implement it on a WinForm application.

If everything was inside the Form1.cs code sure it would be easier.

Thanks

Hi. Thanks for your attention.
I got what you mean, but, how it will fit in my issue ?
You're telling me to create a new form with a progressbar only - thats okay ? But whats the meaning of that since it can't see or receive any function happening at Form1 ?

Even if i managed to implement that i would need an Form2.show inside Form1 just in order to make the progressbar appear.

Didn't you know any other way ? Maybe Async tasks ?

Cretae one form consting progressbar only

write following code

CXML cXLM; //Class Nmae
///
///
///
///
public frmExportingProgress(CXML parent)
{
InitializeComponent();
cXML = parent;
timer.Enabled = true;
}
private void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (cXLM.PValue <= 100)
progressBar.Value = cXML.PValue; // this will be the incrementla value from the Class
}
