Question

I am currently working on a app that has multi web browsers on a tab control with progress bars on them. To save me duplicating code i wanted to create a method where i pass the progress bar name into a function. I have created the following below but i am getting this error.

‘string’ does not contain a definition for ‘Maximum’ and no extension method ‘Maximum’ accepting a first argument of type ‘string’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

  private void PassPBName(string PBName)
        {

            // Event for the browser
            AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_ProgressChangeEvent e;

            /* The CurrentProgress variable from the raised event
                  * gives you the current number of bytes already downloaded
                  * while the MaximumProgress is the total number of bytes
                  * to be downloaded */
            if (e.progress < e.progressMax)
            {
                // Check if the current progress in the progress bar
                // is >= to the maximum if yes reset it with the min
                if (PBName.Value >= PBName.Maximum)
                    PBName.Value = PBName.Minimum;
                else
                    // Just increase the progress bar
                    PBName.PerformStep(); 
            }
            else
                // When the document is fully downloaded
                // reset the progress bar to the min (0)
                PBName.Value = PBName.Minimum;
        }
        private void WBIntranet_ProgressChange(object sender, AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_ProgressChangeEvent e)
        {

            string progressBar = PBIntranet.Value.ToString();
            PassPBName(progressBar);
        }

Thanks

I found the solution if anyone else wants to know how to do this.

private void PassPBName(ToolStripProgressBar PBName, AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_ProgressChangeEvent e)
    {
              /* The CurrentProgress variable from the raised event
              * gives you the current number of bytes already downloaded
              * while the MaximumProgress is the total number of bytes
              * to be downloaded */
        if (e.progress < e.progressMax)
        {
            // Check if the current progress in the progress bar
            // is >= to the maximum if yes reset it with the min
            if (PBName.Value >= PBName.Maximum)
                PBName.Value = PBName.Minimum;
            else
                // Just increase the progress bar
                PBName.PerformStep();
        }
        else
            // When the document is fully downloaded
            // reset the progress bar to the min (0)
            PBName.Value = PBName.Minimum;
    }

    private void WBIntranet_ProgressChange(object sender, AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_ProgressChangeEvent e)
    {

        //Pass the PB bar name to PassPBName function to show current progress.
         PassPBName (PBIntranet, e);
    }
