• Visual Studio Express Editions Countdown Timer!

  Hi! I'm trying to make a countdown timer similar to that of the one in the TV Program "Lost" (Counts down each minute without displaying a change in seconds, i.e. 108 00 [1 minute later] 107 00, until it gets down to 3 minutes when it counts down like normal i.e. 03 00, 02 59, 02 58 etc, also during the normal countdown with seconds a sound is played) I'm really stuck and would appreciate any help on the matter, i know it is something to do with the Timer, but don't know how to use it.

• Windows Forms MouseDown event not fired when button held

  So, I'm righting a little application in which I want a user to click down and hold the mouse button on a UserControl to view something (the information should be displayed on the MouseDown event, and removed on the MouseUp event).
