The following C# custom control will create a percentage complete color bar with a custom text in the middle. You can compare this with those of Yahoo/Hotmail, when you log into them, it shows you the percentage of space that is occupied by you out of the space that is allocated to you.
If you provide Count as 40 and FillColor as red, the cell will be 40% filled with red color. Gradient effect has also been used in this so that you can combine more than one color.
