Countdown Timer

[Sheep Shagger]

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.Year, Now.Month, Now.Day, 16, 30, 0)

Dim DtCurrent As DateTime = Date.Now

Dim diff1 As System.TimeSpan

diff1 = DtRef.Subtract(DtCurrent)

If diff1.TotalMilliseconds < 0 Then

DtRef.AddDays(1)

diff1 = DtRef.Subtract(DtCurrent)

End If

MsgBox(diff1.Duration.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
