Countdown problem

[Peter0903]

Hi!

I'm trying to write a simple countdown program that executes a specifik command at a given time. You are supposed to type in ex. "15:00:00" for the program to execute at three o'clock (swedish time). That's no problem, but I want to visual countdown to that, so that you can see exactly how much time is left until the program executes.

Example: "Time until program executes: 01:37:42"

Can anyone help me please? It's for school and is supposed to be done on friday (and so you know, i'm allowed to ask the internet for help).

Thanks in advance!

Now I know that you'll get a much bigger sense of achievement if you do most of the work yourself. But here's a push in the right direction..

You'll need

A 'Timer' from the control box
2 x 'Label' From the control box
A 'TimeSpan Object' Though it could be done differently

And a form to put it all on. That's really about it. Have a go at putting something together and then get back if you get stuck.
