stop watch using vb.net 2005

  Are you sure you have the Enabled property and the Interval properties of the timer set
  
  Set a breakpoint on the tick event to see if you reach the tick event at all.

  I tried your code and it worked fine. Of course I don't know how you declare stopWatch, tmrMain and what CreateReport does; so I just created standard components and commented out CreateReport.

  It is strange that you did not hit a break point in tmrMain_Tick. Did you try putting a breakpoint on If stopWatch.IsRunning Then
  
  Without more code I'm afraid I cannot investigate further.

  Yes, Enabled property is set to True and Interval property is set to 50. I placed a breakpoint on the tick event and surprisingly it doesn't break into the event

    the user

  Using Stopwatch class i am displaying the elapsed time in a label on the form. The problem is that time elapsed time is not getting updated in the label. It shows the elapsed time as soon as i click the button to start processing data and doesn't update elapsed time there after. below is the code
  
  

  Private Sub btnCreateReport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCreateReport.Click       stopWatch.Start()       Call CreateReport() End Sub Private Sub tmrMain_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrMain.Tick       If stopWatch.IsRunning Then          Dim ts As TimeSpan = stopWatch.Elapsed          lblTimer.Text = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}.{3:00}", _                               ts.Hours, ts.Minutes, ts.Seconds, ts.Milliseconds / 10)       End If End Sub

  
  
  Thanks

  Hi,
  
  Would you try adding this into btnCreateReport_Click It looks like you forgot to start the timer.
     tmrMain.Start()
  
  Hope this helps,

  you need to force a message to update the screen contents. Add the following after the lblTimer.text line
  
  Application.DoEvents()

  You can use the Stopwatch class. This class has members like Start, Stop, Reset.
