I know this is most-likely a simple question but when you restore a database from inside SQL management studio you can set the update interval with stats

RESTORE DATABASE [test] FROM  DISK = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\test.bak' WITH  FILE = 1,  NOUNLOAD,  STATS = 10

If I wanted to execute that line of code from inside c# how would i get the progress? Currently I just use System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() but I can not figure out how to get the progress.

Also, if it is any faster, using the Microsoft.SQLServer namespace is acceptable.

    ExecuteNonQuery is only going to return once the operation is complete. There might be a way to monitor its progress from a connection on another thread or to use an async call, but you could also look at using SMO, which provides a way to register callbacks see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.restore.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162133.aspx with PercentComplete event
