I suggest in future using a non-retarded header. "I need to know about VB.NET" doesn't tell anyone anything about your question that can't be gleaned from the tags.

A way is to permanently store and keep updated the date of the last change. When you launch the application, check if that date has changed and set a new background image. (If the application stays running for long periods, you should check the date, say, every hour also.)

Need more details ?
