How to get notified in the progress of the operations in ExcelStorage of FileHelpers

Question

Documentation http://www.filehelpers.com/example_progress.html saying that i need to use method SetProgressHandler but ExcelStorage does not have it.

ExcelStorage has method public event EventHandler<ProgressEventArgs> Progress; so looks like i need to use it in some way?

ExcelStorage provider = new ExcelStorage(typeof(MyModel));

provider.StartRow = 2;    
provider.StartColumn = 1;                
provider.FileName = @"C:\Customers.xlsx";    
provider.HeaderRows = 13;

provider.InsertRecords(data.ToArray()); // need to get progress here

May be some one could help?

Try this:

provider.Progress += provider_Progress;

and then define the provider_Progress event handler to update

static void provider_Progress(object sender, ProgressEventArgs e)
{
     var percent = e.Percent; 
     var positionMax = e.TotalRecords; 
     var position = e.CurrentRecord; 

     // update the progress control

     Application.DoEvents(); 
}
