C# - How to increment the value of a ProgressBar

In this post I’m going to show you how to increment the value of a ProgressBar control. This can be done by assigning an integer number to the “Value” property.

Let’s do it with a “for” structure and a “Sleep” line to pause each iteration and see the value changing. Like this:

//Set the maximum value of the ProgressBar

progressBar1.Maximum = 10;

//Set the minimum value of the ProgressBar

progressBar1.Minimum = 0;

//Control the values of the “for” structure with the properties of the ProgressBar

for (int i = progressBar1.Minimum; i <= progressBar1.Maximum; i++)

{

       //Assign the value to the ProgressBar

progressBar1.Value = i;

       //Wait for 500 miliseconds (half second)

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);

}
