Question

I’ve try searching in this website ways to display date and time. But all the example here shows only static date and time. Is there a way to display date and time which is running or I should say increment every second? Does it involve updating the time every second?

Answer 1

Use a timer object and in the tick event show the date in the textbox
in winforms use

System.Windows.Forms.Timer tmr = null;
private void StartTimer()
{
    tmr = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
    tmr.Interval = 1000;
    tmr.Tick += new EventHandler(tmr_Tick);
    tmr.Enabled = true;
}

void tmr_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    myTextBox.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
}
