Step 1: Click New Project, then select Visual C# on the left, then Windows and then select Windows Forms Application. Name your project "MetroProgressBarDemo" and then click OK
Step 2: Right click on your project select Manage NuGet Packages -> Search metro framework -> Install
If you don't see the metro framework in your toolbox, you can view How to download and install metro framework
Step 3: Design your metro form as below

Step 4: Create a ProgressReport class to display the complete percentage
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace MetroProgressBarDemo
{
public class ProgressReport
{
public int PercentComplete { get; set; }
}
}
Add code to handle your form as below
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace MetroProgressBarDemo
{
public partial class Form1 : MetroFramework.Forms.MetroForm
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
//Create a task to process import data
Task ProcessImport(List<string> data, IProgress<ProgressReport> progress)
{
int index = 1;
int totalProgress = data.Count;
var progressReport = new ProgressReport();
//Create a new thread
return Task.Run(() =>
{
for(int i = 0; i < totalProgress; i++)
{
progressReport.PercentComplete = index++ * 100 / totalProgress;
progress.Report(progressReport);
Thread.Sleep(15);//Simulate
//Insert data to database
}
});
}
private async void btnStart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Init data
List<string> list = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
list.Add(i.ToString());
lblProcess.Text = "Working...";
var progressReport = new Progress<ProgressReport>();
progressReport.ProgressChanged += (o, report) =>
{
//Update your percentage
lblProcess.Text = string.Format("Processing...{0}%", report.PercentComplete);
metroProgressBar.Value = report.PercentComplete;
metroProgressBar.Update();
};
//Process import data
await ProcessImport(list, progressReport);
lblProcess.Text = "Done !!!";
}
}
}
