A server side script is not a good solution here. You should use javascript to achieve this. Search for javascript countdown at google and you'll find hundreds of good alternatives.

I'd suggest you to use a JavaScript timer:

You can create a perfect countdown out of it:

Hope I was able to help you!

Solution 2

If you have total remaining seconds, say tot_seconds, then

C#

int seconds = tot_seconds % 60;
int minutes = tot_seconds / 60;
