how to show an animated wait GIF or AVI while long job is running in vb.net

I added a GIF image in a picturebox to the windows form I am creating, however, it does not refresh continuously while a long job is executing. I have searched in the web, and developers advise to use AVI instead, I want to show the animation, whether by avi or gif. Can someone send me the VB.Net code to do this? Thanks

That's a pretty control emoreau!

*It too, though, would not work if the author doesn't move the work to a different thread:
