This is the code I have now:

XML

<script  runat="server">
Sub Page_Load
lbl1.Text="The date and time is " & now ()
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<body>
<form  runat="server">
<h3><asp:label id="lbl1" runat="server" /></h3>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I want to modify & now to display only the time, without the date. How do I do this?

as you just need to display time and you have asp.net page which gives you the flexibility of code behind model so you can use form load part of serverside code and simply write the following

C#

Protected void Form_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
lbl1.Text=DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();
}

it will give you the desired result...

Solution 1

Use the DateTime.ToString[^] method.

You can use the Standard Date and Time Format Strings[^] to get the time:

VB

DateTime.Now.ToString( "T" )

or the Custom Date and Time Format Strings[^]:

VB

DAteTime.Now.ToString( "HH:mm:ss" )
