im new to asp.net i am just playing about with it atm downloaded asp.net2.0 earlyer today and its so simple with IntelliSense i made a little timer by just doing a loop of the time Do While Not Counter1 = Counter2 Counter1 = CInt(Right(CStr(Now), 2)) 'pixel1 = pixel1 Me.TextBox1.Width = System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Parse(CStr(Counter1)) Me.Label1.Text = CStr(Counter1) & CStr(Counter2) Loop now what i want it to do is every second it changes the size of textbox1.width so it gradually gets bigger untill the timer finishs how can i achive this? the whole code to this is Protected Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click MsgBox(myTimer(CInt(Me.TextBox1.Text))) End Sub Function myTimer(ByVal iCount As Integer) As String If CInt(Right(CStr(Now), 2)) <= 49 Then Counter2 = CInt(Right(CStr(Now), 2)) + iCount End If Me.Label1.Text = CStr(Counter1) & CStr(Counter2) Do While Not Counter1 = Counter2 Counter1 = CInt(Right(CStr(Now), 2)) 'pixel1 = pixel1 Me.TextBox1.Width = System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Parse(CStr(Counter1)) Me.Label1.Text = CStr(Counter1) & CStr(Counter2) Loop Me.Label1.Text = CStr(Counter1) & CStr(Counter2) sStr1 = "Stoned" Return sStr1 End Function its quite messy code i know anyone help resize it continusly??
