The .NET PictureBox and animated GIFs

I know the the .NET PictureBox can load GIF's, but can it load and display animated GIF?

Yes. Here's a sample (along with an image):

Option Strict On
Option Explicit On

Imports System
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Drawing

Public Class Form1
   Inherits Form

   Public Sub New()
      Me.Text = "Animated Gif Test"
      Me.Size = New Size(300,300)

      Dim pb As PictureBox = New PictureBox()
      pb.Size = New Size(250,250)
      pb.Location = New Point(0,0)
      pb.Image = New Bitmap("pic1.gif")

      Me.Controls.Add(pb)
   End Sub

   <STAThread()> _
   Shared Sub Main()
      Application.Run(New Form1())
   End Sub
End Class
