hope that's clearly and that possible.

Answer 1

I think when you load the page you should subtract the offerClosing time - Datetime.Now. Then you need to use javascript to subtract every second. This is similar to what Ebay does when an auction is nearing close. As far as the actual javascript I dont know offhand but I think you could google that

Answer 2

I'm assuming the countdown is displaying in a web browser. You'll want to write the countdown in javascript. Basically, store the offerClosing in a javascript variable and then use setTimeout with an interval of 1000ms (1s) to update the display of time remaining.
