    Countdown Timer

    Hello all

    This is driving me crazy. I am trying to write a small program that when
    started counts down from 16:30

    heres what I mean:-

    say I launch the programme at 10:00 then i've like to show how long left
    before 16:30 in a lable controll. in this case is 6.5 hours

    start programme time:- 10:00
    finish time:- 16:30
    time between the two time:- 6.5 hours
    but I could start the programme any tyme day or night and it wont be
    constante tyme

    how to show a countdown of this in a lable controll

    how do i do this

    sory for my englisch

    tank you

      Sheep Shagger,

      I think that to help you with this you have to show some code how you did
      it.

          Dim DtRef As New DateTime(Now.Ye ar, Now.Month, Now.Day, 16, 30, 0)

          Dim DtCurrent As DateTime = Date.Now

          Dim diff1 As System.TimeSpan

          diff1 = DtRef.Subtract( DtCurrent)

          If diff1.TotalMill iseconds < 0 Then

          DtRef.AddDays(1 )

          diff1 = DtRef.Subtract( DtCurrent)

          End If

          MsgBox(diff1.Du ration.Hours & " Hours : " & diff1.Duration. Minutes & "
          Minutes : " & diff1.Duration. Seconds & " Seconds : " & " Untill 16:30")


          call above in a timer and bind the values to a label

          regards
