Making a Semi-Dynamic Completion counter?

I'm attempting to make a counter to show you the progress you have made in completing the current operation, but it doesn't update... any help?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. adder++;
  2. string prog = ((adder / count)*100).ToString() ;
  3. lblProg.Text = prog + "%";
  4.  
NOTE: Adder and count are predifined integers of different values (adder starting at 0, and count being the max).

Do the actual math in a seperate thread and off the main thread. If you overload the main thread it will not adequately update the form, sometimes even appearing to be locked up.
