Winforms ProgressBar Takes time to Render

Question

I have noticied that when using the PorgressBar. If I set the value to x, the value displayed is not immediately updated, it takes a small amount of time to draw it as the b

Answer 1

I have good results with progressbar lag, setting the value with this function:

Private Sub SetProgressNoAnimation(ByVal value As Integer)
    ' To get around the progressive animation, we need to move the 
    ' progress bar backwards.
    If (value = progressBarCarga.Maximum) Then
        ' Special case as value can't be set greater than Maximum.
        progressBarCarga.Maximum = (value + 1)
        ' Temporarily Increase Maximum
        progressBarCarga.Value = (value + 1)
        ' Move past
        progressBarCarga.Maximum = value
        ' Reset maximum
    Else
        progressBarCarga.Value = (value + 1)
        ' Move past
    End If
    progressBarCarga.Value = value
    ' Move to correct value
End Sub
