    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    Syst         


        

Answer 1

is the offset fixed or variable?

In either case, have it as some member variable or const for the class and just add it.

private TimeSpan offset = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(45);

Then just change your tick to include it:

var combined = ss.Elapsed + offset;
int hrs = combined.Hours, mins = combined.Minutes, secs = combined.Seconds;
