What methods and functions can I use to make the program display or return the current time and date in C#? Thanks.

It's almost embarrassing how many useful hits a quick Google search for "C# time date" yields...
 
Thanks, and sorry. I will learn to Google before asking next time.

Cheers.
 
GetlocalTime() can do it
you can search it in MSDN.
 
Code: 
System.Console.WriteLine(System.DateTime.Now);
