C# Simple Counter

[jjr0319]

i'm very new to C#. i have homework for a class im taking that i just cant figure out. we're working with events & delegates. the particular event is a clock, and when a minute elapses, i have to run an event that prints "a minute has elapsed". i have this working, however, it prints the statement when the minute changes (1:03:53 goes to 1:04:00), not when an actual 60 secs have elapsed (1:03:53 goes to 1:04:53). the teacher says we could use a "simple counter" to do it the "quick and dirty way", but i have no clue where to start. i tried using a Clock, starting it, then calling the event when the seconds reached 60, then reset the clock back to 0. but could not get it to work. the solution is probably much more simple than that anyway. any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

here's the current code im using to raise the event:

// if datetime.minute != theClock.minute
if (dt.Minute != minute)
                {
                    TimeInfoEventArgs timeInformation =
                        new TimeInfoEventArgs(dt.Hour, dt.Minute, dt.Second);
            OnMinuteElapsed(timeInformation);
 
                }

thanks in advance

If you're using .Net, you should have access to the "timer" object. This will time in milliseconds, but you can simply make the computer react after a minute of milliseconds. Unless you specifically want to use the clock, this will work.
