u can use Thread.

Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)

Just wondering; do the lines have to be in the Button's.Click event or can they be in separate Subs?as:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        someCoolSub()
        someOtherCoolSub()
    End Sub
    Private Sub someCoolSub()
        MsgBox("someCoolSub")
    End Sub
    Private Sub someOtherCoolSub()
        MsgBox("someOtherCoolSub")
    End Sub

Reason I'm asking is because you can use the Threading.Thread.Sleep , although that will freeze your entire application for 5 seconds, not just pause the the time between running the rest of the lines of code.
