Thanks for the input Foxy Mod. This is very helpful.
One question....How do I place the sound.play into the timer when the timer goes to zero? Below is the code for what I am doing.
Protected Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Dim timer, timer_arr() As String timer = lblTimer.Text timer_arr = timer.Split(":") Dim seconds As Integer = Double.Parse(timer_arr(2)) Dim minutes As Integer = Integer.Parse(timer_arr(1)) Dim hours As Integer = Integer.Parse(timer_arr(0)) If seconds = 0 And minutes = 0 And hours = 0 Then PlaySound() Timer1.Enabled = False getNextLevel() Exit Sub Else seconds = seconds - 1 End If If (seconds < 0) Then seconds = 59 minutes = minutes - 1 End If If minutes < 0 Then minutes = 59 hours = hours - 1 End If lblTimer.Text = Format(hours, "00") & ":" & Format(minutes, "00") & ":" & Format(seconds, "00") End Sub
