Hi, have a look at Custom Date and Time Format Strings[^] to see how the DateTime.ToString can be formatted.

Something like this should be what you are looking for:

aspx:

ASP.NET

<asp:label id="LblTime" runat="server" backcolor="#6600ff" forecolor="#ffffff" />

code behind:

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    LblTime.Text = string.concat("Hello, Current time is:",DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt"), " Have a Good Day");
}

... hope it helps.
