This is mostly put together from examples I pulled online, but I got it working and I figure other people could use it as well. This has a Form1 form and a ProgressForm form put I tried to put all the code together for this post.

namespace TestingAsync
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Starting..");
var mgr = new Manager();
mgr.GoAsync(this);
MessageBox.Show("END");
}
}
class Manager
{
private static ProgressForm _progressForm;
public async Task GoAsync(Form owner )
{
//var owner = new Win32Window(Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle);
_progressForm = new ProgressForm();
_progressForm.Show(owner);
var progress = new Progress<int>(value => _progressForm.UpdateProgress(value));
await Go(progress);
_progressForm.Hide();
}
private Task<bool> Go(IProgress<int> progress)
{
return Task.Run(() =>
{
var job = new LongJob();
job.Spin(progress);
return true;
});
}
}
class LongJob
{
public void Spin(IProgress<int> progress)
{
for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
Thread.Sleep(25);
if (progress != null)
{
progress.Report(i);
}
}
}
}
}
