Here's an easier way to implement Tony's idea.  Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below.  Build.  Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto your form.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class VerticalProgressBar : ProgressBar {
  protected override CreateParams CreateParams {
    get {
      CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
      cp.Style |= 0x04;
      return cp;
    }
  }
}
