Change label text at runtime in wpf C#
I have one label named as lblMsg.
I want to change it's content runtime dynamically.
Below is the example of my code not the actual code. My for loop contains so many code and it takes approx 8 to 9 seconds on each loop. So it should be visible on UI.
For ex.
for(int i=0;i<=length;i++)
{
lblMsg.Content="Test"+i;
}
But it is not working. Can any one help me with it?

For loop works instantly. if you want to see it updating by the time start with adding a timer and put i++ on the timer tick

It probably does update, but it goes way too fast for you to notice (probably less then one milisecond).

Instantly? One millisecond? For all we knowlength = int.MaxValue. UIs are going to hate that and if Telerik is involved well...better get out War and Peace

The above code is just an exmaple. My actual code takes time to execute .. approax 8-9 secinds on each. And my label should change accordingly like. Task 1 completed on first loop, task 2 completed on second loop etc.

If you just want to display a label with a incrementing number you can create a Task and then use a delay (Thread.Sleep()) to give the UI time to refresh the label.
Because you cannot change UI Elements within a separate Thread, you have to update the UI with the UI Dispatcher.
Sample Code
var length = 1000;
Task.Run(() =>
{
for (int i = 0; i <= length; i++)
{
Application.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => {
lblMsg.Content = "Test" + i;
}), DispatcherPriority.Render);
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
});

If you just want to display a label with a incrementing number you can create a Task and then use a delay (Thread.Sleep()) to give the UI time to refresh the label.
Because you cannot change UI Elements within a separate Thread, you have to update the UI with the UI Dispatcher.
Sample Code
var length = 1000;
Task.Run(() =>
{
for (int i = 0; i <= length; i++)
{
Application.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => {
lblMsg.Content = "Test" + i;
}), DispatcherPriority.Render);
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
});
