Unloading a picture from a picturebox in VB.net

I have done some code to load a picture in an array of bytes. The data
is saved in a file in the Hard drive. There is also another piece of
code to display the image. My issue is that I need to unload the
picture before the user press the button to refresh and therefore
reload the image. Generally I would have an error when I try to
download the file and save it. I will have an error that the file is
being used by another process. Noticed that picturebox1.loa d = nothing
will unload the picture from the picturebox but it will not close the
file completely before going the next instructions. Checking "If
picturebox1.loa d is nothing = true will be true and therefore there
will no way to identify if the file has been closed or not. I don't
want to use the destroy method since this will remove the picturebox
completely, but if there is no solution to this, I have to destroy it
and recreating it at runtime.

Any suggestions pls?
Thanks
Jansen

Ok, I'll explain the whole problem because there may be several ways to solve this and hopefully someone knows one.

The problem is that I need to be able to...

Hi, Is it possible to assign the Picture property of a picturebox to the Picture property of an image control?

But when I execute the following code:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
