Backgroundworker won’t report progress

by

You need to break your DoWork method down into reportable progress and then call ReportProgress.

Take for example the following:

private void Something_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) 
{
    // If possible, establish how much there is to do
    int totalSteps = EstablishWorkload();

    for ( int i=0; i<totalSteps; i++)
    {
        // Do something...

        // Report progress, hint: sender is your worker
        (sender as BackgroundWorker).ReportProgress((int)(100/totalSteps)*i, null);
    }

}

If your work can’t be predetermined, try adding your own percentages:

private void Something_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) 
{
    // some work

    (sender as BackgroundWorker).ReportProgress(25, null);

    // some work

    (sender as BackgroundWorker).ReportProgress(50, null);

    // some work

    (sender as BackgroundWorker).ReportProgress(60, null);

    // some work

    (sender as BackgroundWorker).ReportProgress(99, null);
}
