One popular way of using thread in VB is to use Timer Control and having one "Timed Event" to occur after a specific duration

The most reliable way to create a multithreaded application is to use the BackgroundWorker component. This class manages a separate thread dedicated to processing the method that you specify.

To start an operation in the background, create a BackgroundWorker and listen for events that report the progress of your operation and signal when your operation is finished. You can create the BackgroundWorker object programmatically, or you can drag it onto a form from the Components tab of the Toolbox. If you create the BackgroundWorker in the Forms Designer, it appears in the Component Tray, and its properties are displayed in the Properties window.
