Timer Control - Add to Collection and Add Values

[CP153319]

I am using the timer control like a stopwatch counting laps. I add each lap to a collection and when I get to 10 laps I patch the collection to a SharePoint list. 

The problem is that SharePoint sees the output from the Timer Control as Text and not a number. 

My question is how should I format the Timer Control so that it's output is actually a number?

The perfect scenario would be for me to end up with numbers like 52.5 which would be 52.5 seconds. Then I can perform the required math on the backend. 

Thank you for reading.

When you patch the value to SharePoint, try using the Value property of the Timer control; it contains the number of milliseconds (so divide by 1000 if you want the value in seconds) that has elapsed from the timer / stopwatch.

Hope this helps!

Thank you - I figured this out after some further research.  It works PERFECTLY.
