I have designed and programmed a stopwatch in VB6 so that it resemble a typical digital stopwatch. When you click mode, you can select clock, date and stopwatch. When you select clock, the current time is displayed and when you select the date, the current date will be displayed. Lastly, when you select the stopwatch, all the digits will be set to 0 and now it can be used as a stop watch.
In this program, you need to insert one label, three command buttons and two timers. The interval of timer1 which is used for the stopwatch and you have to set the interval to 1. Timer2 will be used to display the clock and the interval will be set to 1000(or 1 second). I used 6 string variables to display the digits of the stopwatch so that I can put in the colons ":" and the decimal point. I also created a subroutine known as countime The codes are shown below:
Dim a As String
Dim b As String
Dim c As String
Dim x As String
Dim y As String
Dim z As String
Dim h As String
Dim m As String
Dim s As String
Dim u As String
Dim v As String
Public interval As Double
Private Sub clock_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = False
Timer2.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.interval = 1
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub Command3_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = False
a = "0"
b = "0"
c = "0"
x = "0"
y = "0"
z = "0"
u = "0"
v = "0"
h = a + b
m = c + x
s = y + z
'To set the display as "00:00:00.00"
Label1.Caption = h + ":" + m + ":" + s + "." + u + v
End Sub
Sub counttime()
If Val(v) < 9 Then
v = v + 1
Label1.Caption = a + b + ":" + c + x + ":" + y + z + "." + u + v
ElseIf Val(u) < 9 Then
v = 0
u = u + 1
Label1.Caption = a + b + ":" + c + x + ":" + y + z + "." + u + v
ElseIf Val(z) < 9 Then
v = 0
u = 0
z = z + 1
Label1.Caption = a + b + ":" + c + x + ":" + y + z + "." + u + v
ElseIf Val(y) < 5 Then
v = 0
u = 0
z = 0

Label1.Caption = a + b + ":" + c + x + ":" + y + z + "." + u + v
ElseIf Val(x) < 9 Then
v = 0

y = 0
x = x + 1
Label1.Caption = a + b + ":" + c + x + ":" + y + z + "." + u + v
ElseIf Val(c) < 5 Then
v = 0
u = 0
z = 0
y = 0

Label1.Caption = a + b + ":" + c + x + ":" + y + z + "." + u + v
End If
End Sub
Private Sub dat_Click()
Label1.Caption = Date
Timer2.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()

You need to modify the codes in VB.Net
