Question

I need to change my backgroundworker progress outside the DoWork Event is this possible ?

My code

private void progress_changed(string fileName, DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
    progress = e.ProgressPercentage;
    Filename = fileName;
    // change the progress here
}

private void worker_DoWork(string fileName)
{
    WebClient client = new WebClient();
    client.DownloadProgressChanged += (obj, e) => progress_changed(fileName, e);
    client.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(progress_complete);
    client.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri(Link), Savepath);
}

private void worker_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
    mainForm.dlist.Items[mainForm.dlist.Items.IndexOfKey(Filename)].SubItems[2].Text = progress.ToString() + "%";
    mainForm.dlist.Items[mainForm.dlist.Items.IndexOfKey(Filename)].SubItems[3].Text = "Downloading";
}

Answer 1

Pass the BackgroundWorker to the other function. From there, you can call ReportProgress. Alternatively, depending on your structure, you could make the BackgroundWorker a class field and access it that way.
