{
switch (eventInfo.EventType)
{
case ProgressEventType.TotalProgress:
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} - Conversion progress : {1}% .", DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay, eventInfo.Value.ToString()));
break;
case ProgressEventType.ResultPageCreated:
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} - Result page's {1} of {2} layout created.", DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay, eventInfo.Value.ToString(), eventInfo.MaxValue.ToString()));
break;
case ProgressEventType.ResultPageSaved:
