Straight to the point 
I’m creating a windows application (.net c#) , I have a button named getData. On click of this button
I need to show a label (not message box) “Flashing - progress…” once data loading is complete update the same label with “Flashing - Idle”
Can someone suggest a solution?

Not clear. What prevents you from assigning any text to a label?

Yes
I can assign text to label, but the first label ("Flashing - Progress") was not reflecting .
I missed .Refresh();

use.
Label1.Refresh();

C#

private void getData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            lblFlashingProgress.Text = "Flashing - Progress";
            lblFlashingProgress.Refresh();
            // GetData logic comes here...
            lblFlashingProgress.Text = "Flashing - Idle";
            lblFlashingProgress.Refresh();
       

        }
