CountDown -Timer ajax control c#.net Asp.net

Task: CountDown Timer in ASP.NET using AjaxControl Toolkit

Description: Sometime we need to countdown timer on website as for bidding website or any else. Then we can use Ajax control to achieve this task. Here I created code for countdown timer (server time).
I used server countdown timer because for bidding we need server time not client machine time which used in javascript code.

note : need ajax control toolkit to add first.
It is freely available at http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSamlpleSite/
Here, you can find many sample code for how use ajax controls in your website.

In addition I make CSS for round corner of DIV tag. my div is as a circle.

    1. You have to help yourself, Nobody make code for you...
