Progressbar rounding to nearest integer - VB.NET

I am having an issue with progress bars and can't seem to get them to show decimal values such as 0.5 or 4.1. When i set them as values with decimals it says "Property value is not valid". It further says that "2.5 is not a valid value for Int32". Can't seem to find any solutions on these forums or anywhere else on the internet.

Thanks

EDIT : So there is no way for me to assign decimal values in a progress bar?

You have to specify the value as an Integer. So if you want to show 0-100% with 0.1% increments you can just scale everything up by 10:

ProgressBar1.Max = 1000

Then scale up the value by a factor of 10. So to show 4.1%:

ProgressBar1.Value = CInt(4.1 * 10)

If you want to have another digit of precision you could scale up further.

The .Value property of the ProgressBar class is Defined as integer, so you cannot assign decimal values to it.

<BindableAttribute(True)> _
Public Property Value As Integer

If you want to show the progress percentage in decimal format, then you can place a label over it and print the value in that label.

Can't use decimals in a progress bar. I suggest you to multiply your value x10 times and set 5 for 0.5 and 41 for 4.1
