    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.CenterToParent()
        Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, True)
        Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, True)
        Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, True)
    End Sub
    Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
        Static i As Integer
        i += 1
        If i = 360 Then
            i = 0
        End If
        Me.BackgroundImage = DrawProgressBar(e.Graphics, i)
    End Sub
    Private Function DrawProgressBar(ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal angle As Integer) As Bitmap
        Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Me.ClientRectangle.Width, Me.ClientRectangle.Height)
        g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
        Dim percent As Double
        percent = Math.Round(angle * 100 / 360, 1)
        Dim path As New GraphicsPath
        Dim rec As Rectangle = New Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height)
        Dim stringformat As New StringFormat
        stringformat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center
        stringformat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center
        g.DrawString(percent & " %", New Font("Segoe UI", 32, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Green, New Point(rec.Width / 2, rec.Height / 2), stringformat)
        g.DrawEllipse(Pens.Black, rec)
        path.AddPie(rec, 180, angle)
        Dim holeRect As Rectangle = New Rectangle(rec.X + 15, rec.Y + 15, rec.Width - 30, rec.Height - 30)
        g.DrawEllipse(Pens.Black, holeRect)
        g.Clip = (New Region(path))
        path.AddPie(holeRect, 180, angle)
        Dim gradiant As New LinearGradientBrush(rec, Color.Red, Color.Blue, 45)
        g.FillPath(gradiant, path)
        Invalidate(rec)
        Return bmp
    End Function
End Class

now just debug and see what happens you can modify as you want you can see the preview on top of the post
