when picture meet database!

I use a Picture box to monitor the database(a sql database).When something changed in the database,the Picture will change its graph. I use a ADO control to connetct the database, and a timer control to refresh the ADO and the Picture every 1 second. Now there is a question..
Every time the timer refreshs,the picture box will flash that isnt comfortable. I am wonder if there is some way can make the picture box update smoothly!
Help me!

Set the picturebox autoredraw property to true. Then use the refresh method to update the image.
