timer in VB.net

Hi,
I am a VB.net greenhorn so my problem might seem trivial but for me it is getting to be a Herculean and confusing task.
My problem is that I am making a project where the user has to give a quiz where he/she has the choice of number of questions and time limit which can be in hours, minutes or seconds depending on three respective textboxes. (00 for hours if only limit in minutes is needed etc).when the quiz starts, the time countdowns from the user entere values to 00:00:00.
The question part I can handle, but this time part in VB.net is the problem.
Please someone rescue me! I shall be eternally grateful

What is the problem, exactly? Having trouble converting the numbers into a time?
VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. while(sleeping)
  2.     cat_wails();
  3. wake_up();
  4. for(i=0;i<9;i++)
  5.     shoot_cat();
  6. rejoice();
  7. goto(bed);

no! How to use the timer to count down from the given time. if the user says that he wants to take 2 hrs,7 minutes and 59 seconds to complete the quiz ,the timer should start from 2:07:59 and countdown to 00:00:00.That's what. I'm at my wits end here.Pleeez help!!

Convert the time into seconds, then into milliseconds, and use the Timer control.
VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. while(sleeping)
  2.     cat_wails();
  3. wake_up();
  4. for(i=0;i<9;i++)
  5.     shoot_cat();
  6. rejoice();
  7. goto(bed);
