Hi to all out there!

I have recently made somewhat a transition into the world of C# and have worked through quite a few tutorials by now and started playing with windows forms.

I wrote a little data capturing application that takes various user inputs and display them all on a text file to preview, from where the user can save the text file.

I would like insert a progress bar for when another form is opened, or when data is being saved, do I need to use a timer?

If so does anyone know of links that I can read up on the subject?

I've looked around but to no avail.
Thanks
