code behind file (JUST LIST RELATED METHODS):

protected void Upload1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//If doing UploadNow in the method ProgressBar1_RunTask, do nothing here, correct?
UploadNow();
}

private void UploadNow()
{
//do something here, which takes long time to perform (e.g., 90 seconds).
}

override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{

InitializeComponent();
base.OnInit(e);
}

private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.ProgressBar1.RunTask += new EO.Web.ProgressTaskEventHandler(this.ProgressBar1_RunTask);
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

}

private void ProgressBar1_RunTask(object sender, EO.Web.ProgressTaskEventArgs e)
{
e.UpdateProgress(0);

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
//Stop the task as soon as we can if the user has
//stopped it from the client side
if (e.IsStopped)
break;

//Here we call Thread.Sleep just for demonstration
//purpose. You should replace this with code that
//performs your long running task.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);

//Should I use UploadNow method to replace "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500)"?
//UploadNow();

//You should frequently call UpdateProgress in order
//to notify the client about the current progress
e.UpdateProgress(i);
}

e.UpdateProgress(100);
}

==============================================================
My purpose is show progress status on the progress bar after click the button Upload1 (as soon as clicking the Upload1 button, the long run method UploadNow will start). Now, I don't understand the meaning of "You should replace this with code that performs your long running task" in the method ProgressBar1_RunTask. Should I replace "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500)" with UploadNow and doing nothing in Upload1_Click? or do something else?

Thanks

Thanks for the instruction. I have a further question: let's say inside the UploadNow method, there are two sequential sub processes:

1. Upload files: loop through all collected files and put every file to a directory folder called FileStorage.
2. Compress the folder FileStorage and ship the .zip file to somewhere.

Now, I want the progress bar firstly shows acting on the process 1 with text "Upload is being processed" and the progress percentage (1 - 100%). Once the process 1 is done, the progress bar will show a new text "Compression is being processed" and the progress percentage (1-100%).

Can the progress bar control can do the tasks described above?
