progressbar

Hi!

I have a task that takes a long time executing. In order to inform about the progress to the user I have a progress bar that I update inside DoWork but I would like anybody tells me if it is the best way to update the progress bar. I have heard that there is a reportprogress event handler but I am confused because I don't know what is the utility of the ReportProgress.

Thanks.
