## Example

```
//creating method getTime() to get current system time.string getTime()        {            string time = "";            time = DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString() + ":" + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString() + ":" + DateTime.Now.Second.ToString();            return time;        }          //executing progress bar at button click event.        private void btnLoad_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {                        for (int i = progressBar1.Minimum; i <= progressBar1.Maximum; i++)            {         //displaying ‘loading...’ in status bar                statLabel.Text = "loading...";                progressBar1.Increment(1);            }                         statLabel.Text = "Loading Complete";        }         private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)        {         //setting timer interval to 1sec            timer1.Interval = 1000;         //enabling timer            timer1.Enabled = true;        //seting minimun limit of progress bar            progressBar1.Minimum = 1;       //seeting maximum limit of progress bar            progressBar1.Maximum = 1000000;       //setting step            progressBar1.Step = 1;                 //displating current time in label            label1.Text = getTime();        }       //updating label text every sec. to display current time at timer tick event.        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)        {                        label1.Text = getTime();        }
```
