CodeSmith Progress object

The Progress object

Using the Progress object to display a progress bar for codeSmith's code-generating process is useful for generating time-consuming template operations, and if you use Visual Studio, you can display a progress bar in the status bar:

The progress bar is used by using the Progress property object of the CodeTemplate object, starting with setting the maximum value and step length of the Progress object, in this case simulating a time-wasted operation with a simple loop:

<%@ Template Language="C#" TargetLanguage="Text" Debug="False" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Threading" %>
This is a progress demo.

<% SimulateProgress(); %>

<script runat="template">
public void SimulateProgress(){

Progress.MaximumValue = 25;
Progress.Step = 1;

    for(int i=0;i<25;i++){
        Progress.PerformStep();
        Thread.Sleep(100);
        Response.WriteLine("step {0} ",i);
    }
}
</script>

Moving the progress bar forward is achieved through the PerfStep method of the Progress object.
