Using Visual Basic Express Edition 2008 I have nearly finished my application for checking player numbers in the Irish Lottery main draws. However, I would now like to add a countdown label which shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the next draw. My problem here is that we play the Irish Lottery on a Wednesday and a Saturday. Both draws start at 8.00pm.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a program in visual basic 2010 where the user enters hours minutes and seconds into text boxes and then the program will count down from that until its equal to 0 when a msgbox appears and says its finished. I was converting hour entered, minutes entered, and seconds entered all into seconds and then having a timer subtract 1 from that until its equal to 0. But the problem I'm having is that I want to display the hours, minutes and seconds left in a label to the user in a format of: "hours: 0 minutes: 23 seconds :42" but how to display it in this format.

Dim togo As TimeSpan = mTestEnd.Subtract(Now)

When the Start command button is clicked the timer starts counting down from what amount the user inputed. I've added an elseif to pause the timer and this works ok. When I click resume the although the timer text has paused the actual timer has not and continues from where the timer would be if it had not been stopped. Much like a stopwatch lap timer. Could you help me with my Else statement.
If StartButton.Text = "Start" Then
StartTime.Text = Format(DateTime.Now, "HH:mm:ss") 'Hour(Now) & ":" & Minute(Now) & ":" & Second(Now)
txtTimeLimit.Text = HourUp.Text & ":" & MinuteUp.Text & ":" & "0"
mTestEnd = Now.Add(TimeSpan.Parse(txtTimeLimit.Text))

I have an application that provides a countdown for 60 minutes and I'm currently using the win form timer and it updates some labels and a progressbar. Now I have to change this to be a countdown for 360 minutes. Will the win form timer be sufficient or should I implement a Timers.Timer instead?
View 6 RepliesHow do I show timer countdown to a text label in form? I have the following code set up:
[Code]...
What I'm trying to do is when I click button 1, timer start countdown from 15 sec. I want to be able to show this timer in sec and millisec in form in a text label so the user can see how much time they have left. (example: 12.56 sec remaining)
I need a start date, a Total time passed until now, an average time per step, and a estimated time to finished. How can I do that? Also, I can close the application and when start up again I want to get the time counters as the last time, so How can I store that data is normal txt file (I say txt to take advantage of the ini app file which is a txt).
View 1 RepliesI have a webserver and I upload files to my webserver from time to time. I have an ftp account which points to public_html that is main directory.
I though why give full access so I created another ftp account (e.g. test) which points to a specific folder. Now when I try to upload a file using test it fails.
For e.g.
the following code works:
My.Computer.Network.UploadFile("d:ok.txt", "ftp://mysite.com/Test/okay.txt", "main@mysite.com", "mainpw")
- this is because this a/c has access to root folder of website
now following code gives error -
My.Computer.Network.UploadFile("d:ok.txt", "ftp://mysite.com/Test/okay.txt", "test@mysite.com", "testpw")
The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).
Well the ftp account test has been given access to a specific folder with the name "Test". So it should at least upload to that folder.
But if I use ftp client (like filezilla) then it works.
I am letting the user wait x amount of time before he can start it again. [Code] I am wondering what would be the best way to protect this? The user can obviously end the process and restart the application.

Also, I have a long mess of code (follow my signature) that compiles a sentence and displays it in a label. It works fine until I add the loop around the whole thing. Then it does nothing at all.~~the code is not finished. I have a lot of filters to put in place.
One more thing... After clicking "Add Me" button which saves a new player's profile, I want it to clear/reset all the fields so the next player has a clean slate to work with. Is there a way to do that?

How the logic is confusing. I was thinking of making a Variable that stores the time NOW and once the uploads 1 file, another variable will take the time and subtract it from the old time and times it by the number of files left. Or as you can see I have a little % calculation there and I could use that to calculate the amount of time left.Will that be consistent? Or are there other ways to achieve the result
