Why showing it in the text box? Text box is designed to input of data as well, but if a user enters time by typing in a text box, it's too easy to make a mistake, and you also need to maintain some particular format or input, inform the user what exactly format is used. So, this is not the best idea.

It's much better to use System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker:

Solution 1

C#

Copy Code

Datetime d = new DateTime();
d = DateTime.Now;

TextBox1.Text = d.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy");
TextBox2.Text = d.ToString("HH:mm:ss");

Google would give you the same result, and It would be nice if you tried somethin gyourself, instead of posting this non question, were I have to do the work for you ;)

Not Now(), but Now (this is a property). Did you try to compile it? It's useful to give answers correctly...

Yes, think im off to bed now... Too late for me :)
Seen your answer, he could ofcoures use a Label if he just want to show a date and not being able to edit it.

Well, there are cases when a read-only text box is better then a label -- it can be selected to copy to the clipboard. In all cases, DateTime picker is better...
