Question

I want to display a digital timer in my WP7 application.

Actually i am working on a application for an event.

What i wan t to display is, that it diplay the application will begin in following by days, hours, minutes and seconds and the time should decrease continously.

The Picture given above will give you an idea about what i want exactly.

What i need to do for it.
Any API or inbuilt control available which help me with this, or i need to work on it.

If nothing inbuilt is available than also your suggestions are gladly accepted.

Thanks and Regards

The clock should be easy, its just some text. The biggest issue will be getting the right font into a project as WP7 doesn’t have a digital font built in. You can import external fonts into your project:

As other posters have said all you need to update the display, is have a timer raising a event once a second (or perhaps background worker thread in a sleep loop, as you should be able to get a little more control)
