You could use a jquery plugin for this. There are many out there. Here's one you could use. It has callbacks like for example onExpiry which is triggered when the timer reaches zero so that you could submit the form.

@quantt, what data access technology are you using? – Darin Dimitrov Apr 05 '11 at 11:30
@Darin Dimitrov: I am using LINQ TO SQL – Quan Truong Apr 05 '11 at 11:36
@quantt, you could have the controller action query a repository which will return the corresponding value from the database (using Linq to SQL) and then pass this value to the view. – Darin Dimitrov Apr 05 '11 at 11:39
@Darin Dimitrov: Before I pass value to the view , this value have data type : DateTime ? – Quan Truong Apr 05 '11 at 11:52
@quantt, not necessary. It could be a string as well. From what I can see in the documentation of the plugin there are many different ways to configure a starting and ending values. – Darin Dimitrov Apr 05 '11 at 12:11

@DarinDimitrov Because it is running on client side, Is it possible that user can hack it and stop the Timer.? – RL89 Sep 14 '12 at 13:42
