Question

I want the backgroundworker to send back some custom information to the ProgressChanged event handler, but it seems that all it can send is an int.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

The ReportProgress has an overloaded method which takes in a UserState object which can be any object. You can pass anything that inherits the object class in and then parse it on your ProgressChanged event handler.
