Dapper Bulk Delete how to report progress - dapper

Question

I am using Dapper Plus to do a bulk insert using a query from another table my question is here how does one report progress. As you see I am using the background worker process to run my code which works fine however as the bulk delete method does not have a reportprogress event how would I handle this.
public StockDeativationForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
this._backgroundWorker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(this.BackgroundWorkerDoWork);
this._backgroundWorker.ProgressChanged += new ProgressChangedEventHandler(this.BackgroundWorkerProgressChanged);
this._backgroundWorker.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(this.BackgroundWorkerRunWorkerCompleted);
}
private void BackgroundWorkerDoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
ProcessStockItems();
}
private void BackgroundWorkerProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
this.progressBar2.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;
}
private void BackgroundWorkerRunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
this.CompleteProcess();
}
private void CompleteProcess()
{
MessageBox.Show("Stock items Deleted", "Stock Item Delete", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk);
base.Close();
}
public StockDeativationForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
this._backgroundWorker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(this.BackgroundWorkerDoWork);
this._backgroundWorker.ProgressChanged += new ProgressChangedEventHandler(this.BackgroundWorkerProgressChanged);
this._backgroundWorker.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(this.BackgroundWorkerRunWorkerCompleted);
}
private void ProcessStockItems()
{
string conStr = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DeleteStock"];
using (var connection = new SqlConnection(conStr))
{
DialogResult _dialogResult = MessageBox.Show(null, "Are you sure you want to delete stock? This will delete all stock items", "Delete Stock", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
if (_dialogResult == DialogResult.Yes)
{
connection.BulkDelete(connection.Query<StockItems>("Select ItemID FROM StockItem").ToList());
}
}
}
How does one report progress back using this method of bulkdelete
connection.BulkDelete(connection.Query<StockItems>("Select ItemID FROM StockItem").ToList());

You are right,
Perhaps using the log event could work?
StringBuilder log = new StringBuilder();
connection.UseBulkOptions(options => options.Log = s => {
if(s.Contains("...xyz...")) {
log.AppendLine(s);
}
}).BulkDelete(connection.Query<StockItems>("Select ItemID FROM StockItem").ToList());
Another solution will be to report this request to our support team and ask for a Report Progress/Notify event.
