.NET Framework
Using Progress and IProgress
Simple Progress reporting
Example
IProgress<T> can be used to report progress of some procedure to another procedure. This example shows how you can create a basic method that reports its progress.
void Main()
{
IProgress<int> p = new Progress<int>(progress =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Running Step: {0}", progress);
});
LongJob(p);
}
public void LongJob(IProgress<int> progress)
{
var max = 10;
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++)
{
progress.Report(i);
}
}
Output:
Running Step: 0
Running Step: 3
Running Step: 4
Running Step: 5
Running Step: 6
Running Step: 7
Running Step: 8
Running Step: 9
Running Step: 2
Running Step: 1
Note that when you this code runs, you may see numbers be output out of order. This is because the IProgress<T>.Report() method is run asynchronously, and is therefore not as suitable for situations where the progress must be reported in order.
