Open up visual basic and make a windows form named anything you want.

The GUI:

Insert 3 buttons, and a label.

Name one button's text: Start

Second Button: Pause

Third Button: Stop

Name the label: 0.00

Insert a timer make it not enabled and a interval of: 1

The Code:

Double Click the start button:

Turn on the timer

Code

Timer1.Enabled = True

Double click the pause button and turn off timer

Code

Timer1.Enabled = False

Double Click Stop Button and turn off timer and reset the label to 0.0

Code

Timer1.Enabled = False
Label1.Text = 0.0

Double click the timer and make the label tick by 0.01

Code

Label1.Text = Label1.Text + 0.01

Final Code:

Code

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Timer1.Enabled = True
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Timer1.Enabled = False
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Timer1.Enabled = False
        Label1.Text = 0.0
    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

With every day passing by, I lose a little bit more faith in this section...

You know there is a stopwatch class with various methods and properties to measure elapsed time, right? Heed my warning, continue flooding the .NET section with ridiculous (poor) tutorials like this and your rep will sink to red my friend. That's a fact, not a threat. It's happened before.

Like Odus said, there is a stop watch class for this specific purpose. Using a timer is not the most ideal.

Dim sw As New Stopwatch
sw.Start()

Messagebox.Show(sw.Ellap...)

yeah u get the idea.
