Example

    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {

    Timer myTimer = new Timer();
    int timeLeft = 10;
    
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            //set properties for the Timer
            myTimer.Interval = 1000;
            myTimer.Enabled = true;

            //Set the event handler for the timer, named "myTimer_Tick"
            myTimer.Tick += myTimer_Tick;

            //Start the timer as soon as the form is loaded
            myTimer.Start();

            //Show the time set in the "timeLeft" variable
            lblCountDown.Text = timeLeft.ToString();

        }

        private void myTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //perform these actions at the interval set in the properties.
            lblCountDown.Text = timeLeft.ToString();
            timeLeft -= 1;

            if (timeLeft < 0)
            {
                myTimer.Stop();
            }
        }
