[asra]

hi

in vb we can write this code in this way for displaying time

dim cmin as integer,dim csec as integer,dim chrs as integer

label1.text=format(chrs & ":" & cmin & ":" & csec,"hh:mm:ss")

here csec , cmin , chrs are incremented using the timer.

now can i do this in vb.net

when i write the above code in vb.net , it is just displaying me the hh:mm:ss only
plz help its very urgent

thanking you all .

I don't quite understand which you want here. If you want the time in hours, minutes, and seconds you can just use:

Private Sub Timer1_Tick
Label1.Text = TimeOfDay.ToString
End Sub

That will display your time and keep it up with the time of the day as long as your interval is set to 1000 and is enabled.

Don't store the hours, minutes and seconds in separate variables. Store the whole lot in a DateTime variable.

Label1.Text = myDate.ToString("HH:mm:ss")

If you do have them in separate variables then there's no time format string used because your not formatting a time. You're just formatting a bunch of numbers:

Label1.Text = String.Format("{0:D2}:{1:D2}:{2:D2}", chrs, cmin, csec)

Hey Jmc

I tried using myDate but it isn't a key word for me, any ideas on why?

'myDate' is my date. You should use your date.
