I'm sorry I do not have any code yet, because I have no clue how to do this, but I have a game and you can select amount of time to play the game for and I want to display a timer with the amount fo time you have left. The timer currently will just end the game and display a messagebox when the time is out.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Matt.

To display a Timer in a Label you need to declare an integer and set its value equal to the time you want to start off with. After that you need to make a timer and set the interval to 1000, this will equal 1 second, afterwards in the Timer tick event you will need to do this.

	Dim GameTime as Integer = 90 'the time you want to start the game off as
   Private Sub tmrTotalTime_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrTotalTime.Tick
		GameTime -= 1 'will decrease the Integer by 1 every second
		lblGameTime.Text = GameTime.ToString

	End Sub

To end the game just use an if statement to check to see if GameTime equals 0 and put the correct code that follows
