So There is StopWatch Class in .NET FrameWork
It is Ok

VB

Dim stopWatch as new StopWatch()

Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
       stopWatch.Start()
   
       Dim ts As TimeSpan = stopWatch.Elapsed
       Dim elapsedTime As String = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}.{3:00}", ts.Hours, ts.Minutes, ts.Seconds, ts.Milliseconds / 10)

        txtTimer.Text = elapsedTime
End Sub

The Environment.TickCount gives you the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started the number will cycle from lowest to highest value every 49.8 days so to use it.

Dim startTickCount As Int32 = Environment.TickCount

'Do something here

Dim endTickCount As Int32 = Environment.TickCount

Once you have these two values you could use the following function to determine the number of milliseconds elapsed.

VB

Public Function ElapsedMilliseconds(ByVal StartTickCount As Int32, ByVal EndTickCount As Int32) As Int32
    Dim elapsedTime As Int32 = 0
    If StartTickCount > EndTickCount Then
        elapsedTime = (Int32.MaxValue - StartTickCount) + (EndTickCount - Int32.MinValue)
    Else
        elapsedTime = EndTickCount - StartTickCount
    End If
    Return elapsedTime
End Function
