Try doing refresh on the lable as imediately after setting the lables text
ie label1.refresh. The display should updated before anything else is done,
this has worked for me while processing a large collection of items from a
database.

processes a PostedFile.Saveas to place the file within a directory on the
server.

since everything is going on within the server's subroutine whatever labels
I set don't get rendered until the process is completed and returned back to
the form once more.
