Hi,

Are you trying to create a count down timer. if so you can try with the below code

HTML Mark up:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
                    <ContentTemplate>
                        <asp:Timer ID="Timer2" runat="server">
                        </asp:Timer>
                        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="60" style="display:none;"></asp:Label>
                        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
                    </ContentTemplate>
                </asp:UpdatePanel>

You can increase the timer interval by setting the text value of label above

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Timer2.Enabled = true;
            Timer2.Interval = 1000;
            Timer2.Tick += new EventHandler<EventArgs>(Timer1_Tick);
        }


        void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int i = (Convert.ToInt16(Label1.Text));
            i = i - 1;
            Label1.Text = i.ToString();
            if (i < 0)
            {
                //Time up Send your mail here
                
            }
        }
