GIF Animation - Windows forms versus browser display

GIF animations contain a frame display time that control how rapidly
the new frames are displayed during the animation. The ImageAnimator
class in GDI+ provides the UpdateFrames method which seems to do the
same thing. (I discovered a page which claimed that an internal rate
of 50 ms was used. I have not been able to verify this, however.)

Why do we need both?

I have written a simple animation using the example that can be found
at MSDN, but the results don't look that good in a Windows form.
Frames are skipped entirely. The animation repeats even though a
single iteration was specified when the GIF was created.

The same GIF in a browser works just great.

Can someone explain to me how to get my animation to work as well in
Windows forms as it does in a browser?
