Background Image

I've got a program which works on a time, it selects a image at random froma list.

IE: Dim FileDet As String = "C:\Desktop\Photos\pic1.jpg"

How can i get VB.Net to change this as much background image????

Hi,

I created somecode.
It's possible that there's a better way but it works.
It's very late this time of day , so I 'm very tired and wants to go to sleep :cry:
But anyway you can tried it this way:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Start() ' timer set to 5000 or the time needed to change
    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Static Dim Image As Integer
        Select Case Image
            Case 0
                Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.name of the image
                Image += 1
            Case 1
                Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.name of the image
                Image = 0
        End Select
    End Sub

I'm i'm making a program which uses selected files to changed my wallpaper every so often (set by a timer event)

I really need to know two things

1. How to set a image as a wallpaper
2. How to get the details of the current wallpaper
