C# get current system time
Solution 1
Your class field won't be re-evaluated again until you set it explicitly.
This is how you should do it:
label1.Text = DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString();
Solution 2
private void Clock(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime dtn = DateTime.Now.Hour;
label1.Text = dtn.ToString();
}
then put timer tick on it

So I have a program that I need to be able to get the current time. This is a winform and I have a timer that starts up when the winform is loaded and the interval is 1000. Every tick it checks the time and sets a label on the winform to display that time. I use
DateTime.Now.Hour;
to determine the hour (which is just what I need). My problem is even though this code is on a timer it only displays the time that was when the winform started and doesnt update it. What do I do to get the current and updating hour of the day?EDIT:
Here is the code
//code for hour variable private int time = DateTime.Now.Hour; //Code for timer private void mainTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { //code run every time mainTimer gets a tick label1.Text = time.ToString(); }
