Adding a timer in VB.NET

[Musty]

hi there

I've just finished programming an application that is a 20 question multiple-choice test - but would very much like a timer that enables it so shut down automatically after say, 15 or 10 minutes.

I'm currently using Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 and programming with VB.NET, does this feature exist?

Thanks in advance guys and gals.

Dump a timer object on your form, set the interval to (15 * 60 * 1000) (15 minutes) and in the timer_elapsed event, write code to save the results to the database so you don't lose them and then run the following code to close your application.

Environment.Exi t(0)

Adding a timer in VB.NET

Hello, I recently completed a 20 question multiple choice test using Microsoft Visual Studio 2003, and now wish to add a timer function to it which exits the application automatically after say, 10 minutes once the test has started.

I understand that Microsoft Visual Studio already has the 'timer' function, but how do I use it, how would I set it to leave the exit the application after 10 minutes, and, how do I display the timer for the user to see whilst they're doing the test?

Thanks in advance!

The two threads were rather close and should have only been a single question.

how does one start up a 'time elapsed' event? Sorry this is probly a dumb question but do you mean via private sub? In which case what would it be do u have any example source code for this?
