[c# newb] how do you use progress bars?

i think the title says it all. i am by no means advanced in c#. in fact, im a total noob. can someone teach me about progress bars or refer me to a place that talks about them in easy-to-understand terms? thank you all in advance.

Is that something you are looking for?
First you need to set a MaximumValue of the bar, and then set its value to 0. You cann then add "bars" to it using

Code:

---

progressBar.Value = progressBar.Value +1;

---

Code:

---

progressBar.Value++;

or progressBar.Value += 1;

lol.

Or
++progressBar.Value

though that is less an issue in C# than in C++.

although , PerformStep(); is ideal for the job.

Code:

---

progressBar.Step = 1;
'/// then in the area where you wish to increase the value of the progressBar...
progressBar.PerformStep();
