label.text = "before"
system.threadin g.thread.sleep( 5000)
label.text = "after"

Note that the app is locked during the 5 sec. If you don't want this, you
can use a Timer (see System.Windows. Forms.Timer) instead. After setting the
label the first time, enable the timer (interval = 5000). In the Timer's
Tick event, disable the timer and set the label text again.

Hi Amit,

Have a look at timer,
there are 3 can use the most simple for this the forms.form.time r

Although if you do not mind that your form freze you can also do
Roughly written here in this message
\\\
dim a as string() = {"Before","Midd le","After"}
for i as integer = 0 to a.lenght - 1
label1.text = a(i)
threading.threa d.sleep(5000)
next
///
I hope this helps

You can make a loop looping from 1 to 5 and let the thread sleep for 1
second, then call 'Application.Do Events'. Quick and dirty, I know.

At class level, store the information on what string to show next. In the
Timer's Tick event:
1. Use the information to show the string.
2. Change the information (an Index in a string array? Depends on your
needs) in order to show the right string next time. For example, increment
the index.
