Hi All,
What I try to do;

count number from 0 to 60 and set timer1.Interval=1000 after finish count then program start.
And if we want to abort that program start in between 0 to 60 (count) just press button F2.

somebody can show the true coding.
Thank.

namespace Abort_
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private System.Windows.Forms.Timer timer1;
        private int counter = 10;

        System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            timer1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
            timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);
            timer1.Interval = 1000; // 1 second
            timer1.Start();
            label1.Text = counter.ToString();

        }
        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            counter--;

            if (counter == 0)
            {

                timer1.Stop();
                label1.Text = counter.ToString();

                process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
                process.Start();
            }

            else if(counter > 0)

            {
                System.Environment.Exit(0);
            }

                    Environment.Exit(0);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

    This is pretty much what you had except I've used a KeyUp event instead of KeyDown, as not all events were firing for KeyDown on Form1. Adding the KeyUp handler has been moved to the constructor, and the unbinding is done inside the tick (when counter reaches zero.)

    Updating label1.Text has been moved outside of your if statement so it updates every tick.

    Personally I recommend System.Threading.Timer. More code while maintaining more control and usable in non-windows forms projects.
