Answer 1

Something like this

Private WithEvents myTimer As New Timer

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    myTimer.Interval = (60 * 1000)
    myTimer.Start()
End Sub

Private Sub myTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles myTimer.Tick
    myPicturebox.Image = MyLogicthatreturnAnImage
End Sub

You can use a Timer component. Here's the code in C#:

var timer=new Timer()
timer.Tick+=DrawPicture;
timer.Interval=60000;// its in miliseconds

Now every time you want to start the timer you just set its enable property to true:

timer.Enable=true;
