title: Is this the easiest way to make an 'animated' text?
body: <p>I'm trying to add a "<em>Loading...</em>" text (or other such text) in my application.  But is this the easiest &amp; shortest way of doing it?</p>
  
  <p>I am using this code at the moment:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      if (label1.Text == "Loading")
          label1.Text = "Loading .";
      else if (label1.Text == "Loading .")
          label1.Text = "Loading . .";
      else if (label1.Text == "Loading . .")
          label1.Text = "Loading . . .";
      else if (label1.Text == "Loading . . .")
          label1.Text = "Loading";
  }
  </code></pre>
