Question

My question is : how to evaluate time taken by a backgroung task in order to calculate pourcent in progress bar ? A file is joined with my code. Thanks for help.

Declare StopWatch variable globally and start if when you start your Background worker and stop it at backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted. You have to generate the RunWorkerCompleted event in the mean while write your time taken logic in DoWork event. Good Luck !!

Thanks for your reply. I've done it but where do place it ? I need to calculate pourcent just before report progress something like this : pourcent = sw.Elasped * 100/ TempsTotal public bool ExtractAndUpdateOne(string nomTable out string bilan) { // démarrage du backgroungWorker backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(t); // affichage dans la progressBar while (backgroundWorker1.IsBusy) { backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(pourcent); // Keep UI messages moving so the form remains // responsive during the asynchronous operation. Application.DoEvents(); } } TempsTotal calculation can only appear there : private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs e) { // tache à effectuer en background StopWatch sw = new StopWtach(); sw.Start(); ServicesCommuns.extract_update(); sw.Stop(); TempsTotal = sw.Elapsed; }
