Your code is running on the startup thread, also called UI thread. If the thread is blocked there is no way it can process the Windows PAINT messages that tell the controls to repaint themselves. This is why your label doesn't change color until your button Click method is done executing.

You have to move your work to a background thread. The problem is you cannot make changes to a control, such as changing the background color, from anything other that the UI thread. Once your background thead "work" is done the background thread can notify the foreground thread to change the label color as appropriate.

Read this article[^] for a discussion and alternate methods of modifying controls from background threads.
