dynamically Changing the value of Progress Bar with the changing value of an integer

I have a progress bar. I have an increasing int. which i name questionindex I want the progress bar to move just as the integer increases. i.e i want the value of the progressbar to increase as the value of my incremented int increases. I wrote :

ProgressBar.value= questionindex;

questionindex is my Int An exemption was raised saying I can't convert Int to double

Then I used:

ProgressBar.value = questionindex.Tostring();

It said I can't convert string to double lacking an e. Property. Then I create a hidden textblock. I set the text property to my Int. 

textBlock.Text= questionindex;

Then equated this to progress bar

ProgressBar.value= textBlock.Text

none of these bits worked.

A friend just helped. i used this little code and it worked. 

ProgressBar.value= Double.Parse(questionindex.ToString());

the Progress Bar increased and moved as the integer increased. the minimum and maximum were set automatically by visual studio.

This works on mine.

int i = 0
while (i < 100)
{
    progressBar.Value = i;
    i++;
}

the value takes an int.

If you are creating the progress bar, then you need to it the step and the maximum value before using it.

Also note you to create one use 

ProgressBar progressBar = new System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar();

Thanks for the edit
