Dear friends

i am using this code to sow a countdown timer in an online exam project :

Default.aspx page coding

Interval="1000" OnTick="timer1_tick">

runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">

Default.aspx.cs page coding

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page

{

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!SM1.IsInAsyncPostBack)

Session["timeout"] = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(120).ToString();

}

protected void timer1_tick(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (0 > DateTime.Compare(DateTime.Now,DateTime.Parse(Session["timeout"].ToString())))

{

lblTimer.Text = "Number of Minutes Left: " +((Int32)DateTime.Parse(Session["timeout"].ToString()).Subtract(DateTime.Now).TotalMinutes).ToString();

}

now i wanted to know how i show time into minutes and second format , because this coding only show minutes

Accepted answer
If you wanted to stick with just minutes and seconds, you could also do it by making a minor change to the original code:

protected void timer1_tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime timeout = DateTime.Parse(Session["timeout"].ToString());
DateTime now = DateTime.Now
if (0 > DateTime.Compare(now, timeout))
{
TimeSpan ts = timeout - now;
int mins = ts.Minutes + 60 * ts.Hours;
int secs = ts.Seconds;
lblTimer.Text = String.Format("Time remaining: {0} minutes {1:D2} seconds", mins, secs);
}
}

static DateTime Timeout = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(120);

TimeSpan TimeLeft = Timeout.Subtract(DateTime.Now);

Console.WriteLine("Time remaining: {0} minutes {1} seconds", TimeLeft.TotalMinutes, TimeLeft.Seconds);

TimeLeft.TotalMinutes = 1

.Seconds to show seconds left in the current minute.
.TotalSeconds to show the total seconds overall.

Vs:

TimeLeft.Hours = 1
TimeLeft.Minutes = 59

Do you really think this is easier?

TimeSpan ts = timeout - now;
int secs = (int)ts.TotalSeconds;
int hours = secs/3600;
int mins = (secs%3600)/60;
secs -= hours * 3600 + mins * 60;
lblTimer.Text = String.Format("Time remaining: {0} hours {1:D2} minutes {2:D2} seconds", hours, mins, secs);

There is actually a TimeSpan property called TotalMinutes, as well as TotalDays, TotalHours, TotalSeconds, TotalMilliseconds. No reason for you to do the math yourself when the object has already provided the necessary values :)

This should fix it:

protected void timer1_tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime timeout = DateTime.Parse(Session["timeout"].ToString());
DateTime now = DateTime.Now
if (0 > DateTime.Compare(now, timeout))
{
TimeSpan ts = timeout - now;
int hours = ts.Hours;
int mins = ts.Minutes;
int secs = ts.Seconds;
lblTimer.Text = String.Format("Time remaining: {0} hours {1:D2} minutes {2:D2} seconds", hours, mins, secs);
}
}

Try this:

protected void timer1_tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime timeout = DateTime.Parse(Session["timeout"].ToString());
DateTime now = DateTime.Now
if (0 > DateTime.Compare(now, timeout))
{
TimeSpan ts = timeout - now;
int mins = ts.Minutes;
int secs = ts.Seconds;
lblTimer.Text = String.Format("Time remaining: {0} minutes {1:D2} seconds", mins, secs);
}
}
