How can I make the progress bar update fast enough?

Question

I\'m using a progress bar to show the user how far along the process is. It has 17 steps, and it can take anywhere from ~5 seconds to two or three minutes depending on the weath

Answer 1

First. I'd never turn off the CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls option.

Second. Add a Refresh() after you update the progress. Just because you're doing work in a different thread doesn't mean your GUI thread is going to get around to updating.
