So i have one class which starts a new class in a new background worker, and the background worker passes status messages back using the progresschanged section.
When i try and and use this by typing
classname.Dataworker.reportprogress(5)
from a seperate class i get an error that I am using an object before definition.
The examples I have found all use a single class and different functions within that.
It may be a stupid easy mistake but i just can't see it, thanks for any help you can give!
A general overview of my code is:
//form class
public static BackgroundWorker bw = new BackgroundWorker();
onbuttonclick
{
installer install = new installer();
bw.WorkerReportsProgress = true;
bw.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;
bw.DoWork += class2.aFunction;
bw.ProgressChanged += new ProgressChangedEventHandler(mainForm_InstallerEvent);
bw.RunWorkerAsync();
}
private void mainForm_InstallerEvent(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
lbl.Text = e.UserState.ToString();
}
////class2 the background worker class
aFunction
{
InstallerForm.bw.ReportProgress(5); //errors on this!
}
