Ravi:

I don't use this particular class but a similar one. On yours I would save the need for one line and the need to remember it. The last line ProgressBar.Hide() can be avoided (also you are not releasing but hiding) by putting a short wait (you can use the API code SLEEP) after the Update value reaches 100% and after this interval it releases itself.
