How to increment in time?

Question

I am creating a stopwatch type application. I've used a label to display time. When application starts, the label is initialized to '00:00:00' and I want to increment its time by every 1 second.

I am trying to accomplish this job by using timer.

Answer 1

If I am getting you right, it may surely work. Set initial label Text as "00:00:00". Set timer interval as 1000.

private void btnStartWatch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    timer1.Enabled = true;
}

private void btnPauseWatch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    timer1.Enabled = false;
}

int i = 1;
DateTime dt = new DateTime();
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    label1.Text = dt.AddSeconds(i).ToString("HH:mm:ss");
    i++;
}

Hope it helps.
