ok so i have a label in a UserControl.

i am having some issues getting to work @ all and display the proper countdown result.

Code: Select all

Public Class mainTimer


    Dim Days As Integer = 0
    Dim Hrs As Integer = 0
    Dim Mins As Integer = 0
    Dim Secs As Integer = 0

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Me.Dispose()
    End Sub

    Private Sub mainTimer_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Interval = 1000
        Timer1.Enabled = False

        Dim Days As Integer = 0
        Dim Hrs As Integer = 0
        Dim Mins As Integer = 5
        Dim Secs As Integer = 0

        tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString


        Try
            Timer1.Enabled = True
            Timer1.Start()
        Catch ex As Exception
            
        End Try

    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        If Days > 0 Then
            Days = Days - 1
            Hrs = 23
            Mins = 59
            Secs = 59
            tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString

        ElseIf Hrs > 0 Then
            Hrs = Hrs - 1
            Mins = 59
            Secs = 59
            tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString

        ElseIf Mins > 1 Then
            Mins = Mins - 1
            Secs = 59
            tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString

        ElseIf Secs > 1 Then
            Secs = Secs - 1
            tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString

        ElseIf Days = 0 AndAlso Hrs = 0 AndAlso Mins = 0 AndAlso Secs = 0 Then
            'set alert types and functions

        End If
    End Sub

End Class

these are the main VARs for the timer to use @ Load_Event

Code: Select all

        Dim Days As Integer = 0
        Dim Hrs As Integer = 0
        Dim Mins As Integer = 5
        Dim Secs As Integer = 0

can i get any help?
50cc to the one that figures this out and get it working right.
plus if you want to use a BackgroundWorker seeing how main of these timers can be running at once you can.

Hi,

replace

Code: Select all

 Private Sub mainTimer_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Interval = 1000
        Timer1.Enabled = False

        Dim Days As Integer = 0
        Dim Hrs As Integer = 0
        Dim Mins As Integer = 5
        Dim Secs As Integer = 0

With

Code: Select all

Private Sub mainTimer_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Interval = 1000
        Timer1.Enabled = False

        Days = 0
        Hrs = 0
        Mins = 5
        Secs = 0

Replace:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        If Days > 0 Then
            Days = Days - 1
            Hrs = 23
            Mins = 59
            Secs = 59
            tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString

        ElseIf Hrs > 0 Then
            Hrs = Hrs - 1
            Mins = 59
            Secs = 59
            tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString

        ElseIf Mins > 1 Then
            Mins = Mins - 1
            Secs = 59
            tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString

        ElseIf Days = 0 AndAlso Hrs = 0 AndAlso Mins = 0 AndAlso Secs = 0 Then
            'set alert types and functions

        End If
    End Sub

With

        If Secs > 0 Then
            Secs = Secs - 1
            tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString
            Exit Sub
        ElseIf Mins > 0 Then
            Mins = Mins - 1

            Days = Days - 1
            Hrs = 23

            tmrResult.Text = Days.ToString + ":" + Hrs.ToString + ":" + Mins.ToString + ":" + Secs.ToString
            Exit Sub

        ElseIf Days = 0 AndAlso Hrs = 0 AndAlso Mins = 0 AndAlso Secs = 0 Then
            'set alert types and functions

        End If
    End Sub

Hope it helps

It would be easier to use a TimeSpan.

Code: Select all

Public Class mainTimer

    Dim span As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.Zero

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Me.Dispose()
    End Sub

    Private Sub mainTimer_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Interval = 1000
        Timer1.Enabled = False

        span = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)
        tmrResult.Text = span.ToString()


        Timer1.Start()

    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        span -= TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)
        tmrResult.Text = span.ToString()
        If span.TotalSeconds = 0 Then
            'set alert types and functions

        End If
    End Sub

End Class
