how to stop a timer at a given time? say 10mins?

Get the value of DateTime.Now before you start it and store it somewhere like a variable called startTime. Then check to see if (DateTime.Now - startTime).Tota lMinutes is greater than 10.

(NOTE: Subtracting, or adding, two DateTime values results in a TimeSpan object)

I should also mention, if your timer is ticking every X seconds/minutes but you want to turn it off after exactly 10, you could always use a second timer. Create it, set the interval to whatever your timeout is, then turn both timers off when the second timer ticks.

Whatever works best for you.
