Getting progress reports from a layered worker class?
- by Slashdev
I have a layered worker class that I'm trying to get progress reports from. What I have looks something like this:
public class Form1
{
private void Start_Click()
{
Controller controller = new Controller();
controller.RunProcess();
}
}
public class Controller
{
public void RunProcess()
{
Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoEverything));
newThread.Start();
}
private void DoEverything()
{
// Commencing operation...
Class1 class1 = new Class1();
class1.DoStuff();
Class2 class2 = new Class2();
class2.DoMoreStuff();
}
}
public class Class1
{
public void DoStuff()
{
// Doing stuff
Thread.Sleep(1000);
// Want to report progress here
}
}
public class Class2
{
public void DoMoreStuff()
{
// Doing more stuff
Thread.Sleep(2000);
// Want to report progress here as well
}
}
I've used the BackgroundWorker class before, but I think I need something a bit more free form for something like this. I think I could use a delegate/event solution, but I'm not sure how to apply it here. Let's say I've got a few labels or something on Form1 that I want to be able to update with class1 and class2's progress, what's the best way to do that?
