WinForms Progress Bar - Update the progress from a separate thread

This example shows how to perform a file copy operation in a background thread and indicate progress of the operation on the main form. The WinForms Progress Bar control is used to communicate operation state and supply feedback to end users.

Note

You can also use the WinForms Wait Form to indicate progress of time-consuming operations. The Wait Form runs in a separate thread and provides feedback to users regarding an application’s state.
