I have a form that I have a code behind for the time. Is there a way to have the time to move like a clock? Ex: If it is 12:30pm I sound see it turn to 12:31pm in a minute not refresh the page for the time to change.

Here is my time code:

C#

this.lblTime.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();

I also tried this:

C#

this.lblTime.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss ");
 and
this.lblTime.Text = Strings.Format("The current time is {0:HH:mm:ss}.", DateTime.Now);

No of these the time changed without refreshing the page.

Of you are talking about a page, then forget the word "form" - it has a specific meaning, and requires a different solution.

For a web page, the best way to do this is via JavaScript so it is kept to the client, and doesn't need a round trip to the server every second...

See here: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_timing.asp[^] - it presents several ways to display the time!
