As far as I remember somewhere here was posted a question about Timer that
was stoping at midnight(0.00 a.m.). I'm going to face this problem tommorow
(implemeting a long working timer) so if anyone remember the solvation I
would be very greatful...
 
I wasn't around for that discussion and I've never used a timer. before--but
I think I might have a viable solution to offer.

Can you create some kind of loop and every time the timer stops, increase an
index (that would represent days) and restart the timer?
 
Hi,

The Timer function returns the number of seconds since midnight. Thus, it
rolls over from 86399 to 0 at midnight. Any calculation based on the Timer
function needs to take this rollover into account (check to see if the
rollover happened). There are a couple of standard techniques.

However... The Timer control uses completely different underlying Windows
functions, and isn't affected.

Which are you interested in using?

Are you referring to 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.Timer'?
