Hi,
I have an application written in VB.NET using VS2017 and Windows IoT Enterprise. Now it is requested that the time shall be changed by the user without showing the window built in adjust time form. Is this possible?
Best Regards,
Per

What I have tried:

            DateTime.Year = Me.TextBoxDateYear.Text
            DateTime.Month = Me.TextBoxDateMonth.Text
            DateTime.Day = Me.TextBoxDateDay.Text
            DateTime.Hour = Me.TextBoxHour.Text
            DateTime.Minute = Me.TextBoxMinute.Text
This doesn't work of course, but illustrate what I try to achieve. Write the date and time in textboxes and then set the computer time accordingly.

Thank you very much! I suppose that I can exchange the remote server time with input data from the textboxes?

Thanks again, Per
