Countdown Clock

[BadMrFrosty]

I want to make a simple countdown clock. I feel that firing a system timer
every second and displaying the time is not the best method.

First am I wrong?

2. How would I do this elegantly?

Seems simple but need some help.

I have searched google an couldn't find anything.

Thanks

is the above good coding practice?
I didn't think that calling a timer every second and repainting the form
would be the best way to do this.

Thanks

Hi Bad,

What don't you like about that method ?

What other ideas have you considered ?
