Adding a timer on a form

[Cornerstone]

I have tried using the timer class but do not think it is timing properly. What I wiant to accomplish is this:

1. Have a form with a command button named cmdStartTimer and a textbox named txtTime
2. Click the button and have the textbox display the time counting in seconds. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. (When it gets to 60 show minutes and seconds)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Rick

Post the code you have so far.

The timer controls are not known to be the most accurate thing ever.
What else is going on while you're counting the time? Other actions or events could be eating CPU time in the thread and causing the timer to pause or slow down.

Like RiverGuy I would ask you post your code. From just what you said I would ask the question "Why use a timer?" There is no point unless there is more going on.
