im trying to use the timer to make an 7 segment display tick up, like in a stop clock, if thats any help, i need it to stop start, as many times as the user wants, and then finish. i will be using an array for the seven segment display but, for simplicity, lets say it needs to read to a label,
thanks in advance

Timers are simple enough. You put the control onto the form. In the design time interface you set the interval for execution (you can do it for runtime too), and whether you want to start the timer as the program starts. Then you define the event that you want to happen, in this case "make an 7 segment display tick up." In run time, you enable or disable the timer as you want through your code.
