After you Assign percentage text to progress bar do Application.DoEvents();

To get your graphics to persist each time the progressbar is repainted I think you'll need to handle it's Paint event and put the code in the eventhandler: private void progressBar1_Paint(object sender System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics gr = e.Graphics; int percent = (int)(((double)(progressBar1.Value - progressBar1.Minimum) / (double)(progressBar1.Maximum - progressBar1.Minimum)) * 100); gr.DrawString(percent.ToString() + % SystemFonts.DefaultFont Brushes.Black new PointF(progressBar1.Width / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(percent.ToString() + % SystemFonts.DefaultFont).Width / 2.0F) progressBar1.Height / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(percent.ToString() + % SystemFonts.DefaultFont).Height / 2.0F))); }
