I would like to have a timer that will delay for 5 seconds between 2 subroutines in vb.net 2005. Is it possiple? And how? Which command of timer should I use? Any example please? Any help will be much appreciating. Thank you so much in advanced.
 
I'm unclear on what you want. Do you want a 5 second delay between the execution of 2 subroutines? If so you can use System.Threading.Thread.Sleep() to do that. Just pass the number of milliseconds you want the thread to stop execution, in this case 5000 (5 seconds):

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
