background worker & progress bar question

Luci C asked:

Open original thread
I have an application like this:
Form 1 => main form. When it loads it must update some information from database and read some files from disk
Form 2=> secondary form

I want to display Form 2 with a progress bar on it while the form1 updates its information and shows up his dialog and then hide form2

I put this code in Form2 class : BackgroundWorker and ProgressBar demo[^]
and i put in Form1 LOAD => Form2 f2=new Form2(); f2.Show()

But i don't get any progress in the progress bar...

C#
void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
       {
           // Your background task goes here
           for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++)
           {
               // Report progress to 'UI' thread
               backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(i);
               // Simulate long task
               System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(150);
           }
       }


C#
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {


           this.CenterToScreen();
           users = usrsrv.ListaUtilizatori();//next 6 lines communicate with database and adds information in 6 lists
           articles = usrsrv.ListaArticole();
           tests = usrsrv.ListaTeste();
           userarticles = usrsrv.ListaArticoleUtilizator();
           usertests = usrsrv.ListaTesteUtilizator();
           fb = usrsrv.ListaFeedback();
           existentarticles = usrsrv.IncarcareNumeFisiereExistente();//reads from file

           int i = 0;
           foreach (utilizator util in users)
           {
               ut.Insert(i,util.username);
               i++;
           }
           this.ActiveControl = textBox1;

       }
