Answer 1

If you need that kind of pretty animation, (and even if you don't!) you should really check out WPF rather than Windows Forms. It's a whole new framework to learn, but it is so much better for visuals like this.

If WPF is not an option, check out http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/Vsexpressvc/thread/E46D251A-A501-4FC6-83AD-5A901BFA7385 for starters (the question is in a C++ forum but the answer is actually in C#). You have a whole lot of work ahead of you to do even simple custom animations in Windows Forms. Hence, WPF.

Hi Vivek Reddy A,

There is a rotate label at the following thread, maybe it can help you to achieve that:
