There is a C# NuGet package containing a auto-close MessageBox.

Source code and link to NuGet package.

Here are two examples using the above in VB.NET, note the timeout property.

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim toBeOrNotToBeQuestion = AutoClosingMessageBox.
                Factory(showMethod:=Function(caption, buttons)
                                        Return MessageBox.Show(Me, "To be or not to be?", caption, buttons, MessageBoxIcon.Question)
                                    End Function, caption:="The question")
        If DialogResult.Yes = toBeOrNotToBeQuestion.Show(timeout:=2500, buttons:=MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, defaultResult:=DialogResult.No) Then
            MessageBox.Show("Yes")
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("No")
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        AutoClosingMessageBox.
            Factory(showMethod:=Function(caption, buttons)
                                    Return MessageBox.Show(Me, "To be or not to be?",
                                                           caption, buttons, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
                                End Function, caption:="Alert").Show(timeout:=1000, buttons:=MessageBoxButtons.OK)
    End Sub


End Class
