Question

How do i get the count in the reverse order? Right now, i have displayed the number of count’s done.. But i also want the number of counts left. And how do i reset the timer at end of each day in the below program and display the last time it was executed? Could someone help me with the whole program?
The program is –

namespace Time_Writer
{
  class Program
  {
    static int count = 1;
    static double seconds;
    private static System.Timers.Timer aTimer;


    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ReadCountFromFile();


        aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
        aTimer.Elapsed +=new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(aTimer_Elapsed);
        aTimer.Interval = 5000;
        aTimer.Enabled = true;
        Console.WriteLine("Press Enter To Exit The Program\n");
        Console.ReadLine();


        AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit += new EventHandler(CurrentDomain_ProcessExit);


    }
    private static void ReadCountFromFile()
    {
        try
        {
            if (File.Exists(".\\mynumber.dat"))
            {
                using (var file = File.Open(".\\mynumber.dat", FileMode.Open))
                {
                    byte[] bytes = new byte[4];
                    file.Read(bytes, 0, 4);
                    count = BitConverter.ToInt32(bytes, 0);
                    Console.WriteLine("Limit = 10000");
                    Console.WriteLine("Count  = {0}", count);

                }
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Problem reading file.");
        }
    }
    static void CurrentDomain_ProcessExit(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        using (var file = File.Open(".\\mynumber.dat", FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
        {
            var buffer = BitConverter.GetBytes(count);
            file.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        }
    }
    private static void aTimer_Elapsed(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Name is Yap {0}", e.SignalTime);
        seconds += 5;
        count += 1;
        if (count>10000 || seconds==86400)
        {
            aTimer.Enabled = false;
            Console.WriteLine("\n\nTimer is off at {0}\n\n", e.SignalTime.TimeOfDay.ToString());
        }
     }
   }
 }

Do you mean something like this?

Console.WriteLine("Limit = 10000");
Console.WriteLine("Count: {0} of 10000. {1} remaining", count, 10000 - count);
