ASP.NET - Countdown timer
Hello Experts,
I have an aspx page that I want upon clicking on a button, from code behind I assign a certain number of minutes to a timer on the page.
The time should be displayed on a label in the page with a countdown.
For example, if my code behind variable holds the value of "5", clicking the button will make the label.text = 5, then it should work like a stopwatch (4:59 etc..) until 0:00
Is that possible?

You can set the variable in code behind, but using code behind to decrement the variable would be impractical since it would require a postback every second. Your best bet is to do the decrementing on the client side with javascript.
