Firstly, when you ask a question, the title is meant to be a summary - not the whole question!
What is it you are trying to do?
I assume you have a PictureBox on a Windows Forms application, and you want it to move about the form in some way.
You can use the PictureBox.Top and PictureBox.Left to move it about.
If we assume you want to move it left and right, bouncing off the form edges, then:
You will need a timer, with a suitable interval (maybe 200ms, you will have to decide). Call it movePictureTimer. Provide a handler for the Tick event, and start the timer.
In the movePictureBox.Tick event, add some small amount to the PictureBox.Left property.
Check that this does not move the picture box outside the form - use teh Form.Width property. If it does, in future take a small amount away from PictureBox.Left. Remember to check if it goes outside the form to the other side, and reverse again if it does.

There you go - one bouncing PictureBox!
