So , the only solution remain to manually calculate the time inside the loop.

..which is not that hard; there's an example a few posts below.

Solution? Ignore it. The message only shows up when debugging the app. And you're wrong about the BackgroundWorker not having access to the controls. Technically, you don't have access to them, but you can get at the controls if you supply method to update the controls and Invoke calls to them. Using the BackgroundWorker, or some other threading/Task model, will free up the UI thread to pump messages. This will also make the warning message you're seeing disappear. Also, if you're doing everything in this long-running operation on the UI (startup) thread, then your controls are not getting repainted anyway. If the UI thread is busy with your operation, it can't respond to all the WM_PAINT messages that are piling up in the message pump. So, during this operation, what could you possibly be updating in the controls since nobody can see those changes? If you're going to do a long-running operation with control interactions, you have to do it correctly, otherwise you run into little issues like what you're seeing.

If you think you have to use Application.DoEvents, this is a sign you're doing something very wrong.

No, they haven't "solved" it. What they've done is gotten around the warning message without actually fixing the problem.
