I want to catch the percentage with C#. I think BeginExecuteNonQuery() function is done. but I do not know exactly how. Suggestions?

Answer 1

Besides from using the SMO method as other have indicated, or from sneaking the percent_complete column of sys.dm_exec_requests, there is also another question asked here: how to I capture those 5 percent complete messages in C#?

The percent complete is an informational message. All informational messages in C# can be captured from the SqlConnection.InfoMessage event.
