Capturing Date and Time

[linusfishing]

Hello,

I would like to know the codes in vb.net to capture the date and time in the computer. I doubt using the datetimepicker is the right way, because i want it to appear as a label beside the client's name. I need to apply it in my chat application project. Help is much appreciated.

I already know how to capture already. Now the thing is how do i change the font size and face of the date and time?

Me.Label1.Text = Date.Now 'get the current date and time


if you want to have something like clock you should use a timer control ... just draw a timer control and add this code:

[color=blue]Private Sub[/color] Timer1_Tick([color=blue]ByVal[/color] sender [color=blue]As[/color] System.Object, [color=blue]ByVal[/color] e [color=blue]As[/color] System.EventArgs) [color=blue]Handles[/color] Timer1.Tick
  
[color=blue]Me[/color].Label1.Text = TimeString
[size=2] 
[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]End [/color][/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Sub[/color][color=#000000]

[/color][/size]

Cheers

Well, just change the font of label control i.e.

Me.Label1.Font = New Font("Arial", 16, FontStyle.Bold)
