Does someone know why BackGroundWorker.ReportProgress method doesn't
accept strings ?

You can't pass integer always for a progress meter as percentage
completed cannot be calculated in many tasks like logging on to a
remote computer. In that case, we would like just to show a message
"Logging on"....

Any ideas ??
 
The second paramter is an object, you can pass anything in it. I normally
pass a class which allows for more detail then a message but you could also
pass a stucture or just a string.

John
