I've tried to add progressbar in the foreach-loop

private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (...)
    {
        ...
        i++;
        backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(100 * i / rcount);
        Thread.Sleep(100);
    }
    this.close();
}

now i have an Illegal Cross Thread Operation error in this.close(); line

How can i solve it?

There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of questions on SO about the same error. How many did you read before posting? — Henk Holterman, Sep 02 '12 at 18:20

Run the command in the ui thread:

this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate {
    this.close();
});

Possible but the Completed event is so much more appropriate. – Henk Holterman Sep 02 '12 at 18:33
