Question

This is really confusing me.

All im trying to do is create a digital clock on a windows form, so i googled and tried this code but it refuses to show in the label.

 private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
    }

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks for all the help in advance

You need to set timer1.Interval to a reasonable value, like 1000.

You also need to set timer1.Enabled = true;

Finally you need to make sure your event handler timer1_Tick is connected to the timer1.Tick event of an existing timer.
