Creating a coundown timer in a form

[Tedsintheway]

Hi chaps
I am trying to create a coundown timer in a form, it must count from 60 seconds to 0 and must be started using a button on the form. I also would like to add a reset button if posible.
I have looked in archives and lots of places on the web but as yet I have not found anything that I can get to work.
I am sure that if you can get me on the right track I can get there in the end.
This is part of a final year degree project and I am more of an engineer/designer than a coder so help would be gratefully recieved.

Here's an example I wrote for you, I added comments since you said programming is not your major.

Dim timercount As Integer = 60 'The number of seconds 
    Private Sub btnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.Click
        Timer1.Interval = 1000 'The number of miliseconds in a second
        Timer1.Enabled = True 'Start the timer
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnReset_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnReset.Click
        Timer1.Enabled = False 'Stop the timer
        timercount = 60 'Reset to 60 seconds
        lblOutput.Text = timercount.ToString() 'Reset the output display to 60
    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        lblOutput.Text = timercount.ToString() 'show the countdown in the label
        If timercount = 0 Then 'Check to see if it has reached 0, if yes then stop timer and display done
            Timer1.Enabled = False
            lblOutput.Text = "Done"
        Else 'If timercount is higher then 0 then subtract one from it
            timercount -= 1

        End If
    End Sub

Many Thanks Dan5150, I think I have it sorted thanks to your very kind efforts.
So far I have it all in the form but have yet to get it to display the counter. I will work on it though and let you know how I get on.

Thanks again

To add the Label control:
Friend WithEvents lblOutput As System.Windows.Forms.Label

place this line under the Dim timercount

That should let you see your output.
For a great free IDE for VB and C#.net look for SharpDeveloper on the internet.
