I need to show a countdown timer in label in a WPF application. My research have only led me to the System.Windows.Forms.Timer - but since I use WPF I am not able to use it. System.Windows.Forms.Timer includes a Tick event, but System.Timers.Timer don't.

I need a countdown timer where I e.g can set a countdown of X minutes (X is larger than a couple of hundred minutes). A label will display the countdown values in the european standard format HH:MM:SS.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

You can use `DispatcherTimer` – Hari Prasad Jun 11 '15 at 09:13
You can use the [DispatcherTimer](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.threading.dispatchertimer%28v=vs.110%29.aspx) class as an alternative of `System.Windows.Forms.Timer` – George Chondrompilas Jun 11 '15 at 09:13
