Use a timer, set the interval for two minutes, show a messasge if the button has not been clicked.

You are not going to do anything for that. If the button is clicked then stop or restart the timer.

you can go with timer control for your time duration. start that timer control as your form is load, and stops it when your button is clicked.
in between if user can not click on your button and timer will ended then you can message user as per your requirement. for better performance use threading for this as form load start separate thread for counting 2 min time, as it over the thread will return to main thread, and stops it with button click.

Solution 1

Place a timer on your form with the duration you want and then throw up a message box to the user when it ticks.

1.create a bool value in the class to check status of button(clicked or not clicked)

C#

bool IsClicked = false;

2.set IsClicked to true if button is clicked.so add below line within button.click handling method

C#

bool IsClicked = true;

3.add following to form load event handling method.
It starts the timer and shows a messagebox if IsClicked is still not set.

C#

Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.Start();
timer.Interval = 120000;
timer.Tick += new EventHandler((o, b) => {if(!IsClicked)MessageBox.Show("Please click the button");});
