You should use xTimer.Tick event to move your button.

on timer tick event
- make randomize function to get new X and Y,so your button always get new location to moving every timer tick.
Never tried = Never Know
So, Please do something before post your thread.

Why would you want the timer to stop when you press the button to start the timer? lol. If you put the code to move the button in the timer_tick event, as you should have already, you just need to stop the timer like this.

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Private Sub TimeStartButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xTimeStartButton.Click
  2.  
  3. xTimer.Stop()
  4.  
  5. End Sub

Ok, then try this in the button click:

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. If xTimer.Enabled = True Then
  2.             xTimer.Stop()
  3.             xTimer.Enabled = False
  4.         ElseIf Timer1.Enabled = False Then
  5.             xTimer.Enabled = True
  6.             xTimer.Start()
  7.         End If

P.S. You don't need to keep using all those "Me"s
