How do I remove milliseconds from time countdown?

I'm trying to create a timer for a given time interval that should take an action when the limit is reached. For instance, if the time clocks 10.30 Am as it counts down from 9:25 am. (01:12.16) seconds remaining. It should not show the milliseconds.

What I have tried:

Void t_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{Timespan tt = end.subtract(DateTIme.Now);
Tb.text = string. Format ({0} seconds left", TT);
}

Solution 1

See Date And Time Format In C#[^]

The following will not display milliseconds and can be adjusted to suit your date format requirements
DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss")

This seems not to work for a countdown. It should count the remaining time to reach 10:30 second by second without showing milliseconds.

I suspect you may have a problem with or how you are doing things. We can't guess your modified code and you need to provide the code and exactly what you are trying to achieve.

Solution #1 is very good and shows a way how to deal with date formats.

As to your code, check this:

C#

Void t_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Timespan tt = end.Subtract(DateTIme.Now)
int sec = tt.Seconds;
Tb.text = string.Format({0} seconds left", sec);
}
