Ok.

The standard PictureBox control can display animated GIFs.
Make a PictureBox on your form, set its Image property to an animated GIF, and set its Visible property to false.
Then, when you want to perform your action, set the PictureBox's Visible property to true in code, perform the action, and set it to false again.

Note: that if you perform your action on the UI thread, the form, including the animation, will freeze until it finishes. To solve this, look at the BackgroundWorker component.

If needed, there are few articles based on showing progress kind of animation while another thread is working.
