hello do you have an example for vb.net. thx

Hi Brian,

Thanx for the demo ... but as usually the demo's are so simple ( from the Net ) ...

I don't have any counter for getting the data ... e.g. how many items etc. They're all taken from the database at once

So I can't anything like this ... some int counter:

for ( int i = 0; i < 100; i ++ )
            {
                if ( this.taskCanceled )
                {
                    e.Cancel = true;
                    this.BeginInvoke( new MethodInvoker(this.OnTaskComplete) );
                    break;
                }

                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep( TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1) );
                worker.ReportProgress( i );
            }

I have a "Manager" class which the Form uses to populate it's data ...

I'm getting the data OnPropertyChanged on a databound UltraCombo ...
which is then databound to a CSLA List class ...

So here's how I load the data ( in the Manager class ):

The "SelectedProjectID" is databound to a UltraCombo, Value field  ...
Have a look at this line in particular, it gets the data:
this.LoadProperty(_currentProjectProperty, Project.GetParticularProjectsByUsernameAndEmployeeTypeId(this.SelectedProjectID, Username, EmployeeTypeID));                   

This is fired when the property in the UltraGrid changes ( because the SelectedProjectID is databound to that UltraCombo for available projects) :

protected override void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
        {
            base.OnPropertyChanged(propertyName);

            if (propertyName != "CanSave")
            {
                if (CurrentProject != null)
                    CanSave = this.IsSavable && CurrentProject.IsSavable;
            }

            if (propertyName == "SelectedProjectID")
            {
                //Remove the <Please Select A Project> if this is the FIRST time a project is being selected ...
                if (this.AvailableProjects.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Key == 0) != null)
                    this.AvailableProjects.Remove(this.AvailableProjects.First(x => x.Key == 0)); //eyðir "<Please Select A Project>" ... sem ætti bara að vera í **1sta** skipið sem keyrt er inn í AddNewProject()               

                //TODO: bjóða notanda upp á að vista ef að CurrentProject er Dirty:
                if (this.CurrentProject != null)
                {
                    if (this.CurrentProject.IsDirty)
                    {
                        this.LoadProperty(_previouslySelectedProjectIDProperty, SelectedProjectID);
                        this.LoadProperty(_needToPromptForLastSelectedProjectProperty, true);

                        PreviouslyUnsavedProject = CurrentProject;
                    }
                }

                //just to make sure the grid is only displaying 1 project:               
                this.LoadProperty(_currentProjectsProperty, ProjectList.NewList());  //Gert svona, því ekki er hægt að CLEAR'a CSLA rót               
                if (SelectedProjectID > 0) //if 0 ... New project is being created
                {
                    this.LoadProperty(_currentProjectProperty, Project.GetParticularProjectsByUsernameAndEmployeeTypeId(this.SelectedProjectID, Username, EmployeeTypeID));                   
                    //CurrentProject = Project.GetParticularProjectsByUsernameAndEmployeeTypeId(this.SelectedProjectID, Username, EmployeeTypeID);
                    this.CurrentProjects.Add(CurrentProject);
                }              
            }
        }

Then this fires, AFTER the Manager has fetched the data:

private void _cbAvailableProjects_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (_projectManager.CurrentProject != null)
            {
                //This will trigger the save of a previously unsaved data:
                if (_projectManager.NeedToPromptForLastSelectedProject == true)
                {
                    DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show("Please note that you have not saved your previous Project" + Environment.NewLine + "do you want to save?", "Previous Project not saved", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

                    if (dr == DialogResult.Yes)
                    {
                        if (_projectManager.PreviouslyUnsavedProject.IsSavable)
                        {
                            _projectManager.PreviouslyUnsavedProject.Save();
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            MessageBox.Show("The Project is not valid" + Environment.NewLine + "Please fix the Project before saving", "Project is not savable", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
                        }
                    }
                }

                //Reset the flag, which was set as true in the Manager:
                _projectManager.NeedToPromptForLastSelectedProject = false;
                _cbAvailableProjects.SelectedValue = _projectManager.SelectedProjectID; //to trigger the change if previous selected project was changed.

                //Then the other binding lists... needed ... to update the binding source controls with latest status of entities ( e.g. "IsDirty" etc ):

                _currentProjectbindingSource.DataSource = _projectManager.CurrentProject; //this one binds to all the properties for the current project
                _projectMembersBindingSource.DataSource = _projectManager.CurrentProject.Members;
                _projectSteeringCommitteebindingSource.DataSource = _projectManager.CurrentProject.SteeringCommittees;

                _cbAvailableProjects.SelectedValue = _projectManager.CurrentProject.ProjectID;

                //now we might have something to save, only needed if the user can edit the project
                if (Managers.ProjectManager.CanEditObject())
                    _btnSaveProject.Visible = true;
            }

            _branchesBindingSource.DataSource = _projectManager.AvailableBranches;
        }

How would you load the progressbar in my scenario ?

Kind regards,
EE
