[RESOLVED] displaying system date and time

[16bit]

hello,

could anyone tell me how to display the system date and time in a label?
i would like to do it so when a user logs on the labels text changes to display the users name and the date and time that they logged in!
thank you,

In the form load event just put:

Me.Label1.Text = Date.Now.Tostring

You can also mess around with the toString bit and use it to format the date/time

thanks a lot

1 other thing,
how do i get it so it displays the persons name before it?

i tried.....

me.lblfeedback.text = '" & Name & "' Logged in Date.Now.ToString

it didnt like it!

[16bit]

oooh i got it.......

lblfeedback.text = (" " & Name & " Logged in ") & date.now.tostring

thanks for putting me on the right track Stimbo!!!!!!!

I think this might be it:

me.lblfeedback.text = System.Environment.UserName & "  Logged in at: " & date.now.tostring

[16bit]

how would i get it so the clock refreshes and constantly displays the correct time?

Add a timer to your project, enable it and in the tick event put the code you have
