lblTime.Text=DateTime.Now.ToString(); if u want this clock to tiking up... then u need to put some javascript...

you can use System.DateTime.Now

Call this lblTime.Text=DateTime.Now.ToString(); in a loop.

As already suggested you can use DateTime.Now.ToString(...formatting options...) to assign a value to the label. However this will only assigned the date time when the code is actually executed. I read your post as wanting it to display the current time. IMHO I would create a timer that ticks every second (or minute depending on what your clock displays) the tick event would then update the label value with the new DateTime.Now

Use 100% of CPU to change a string every second or so ? I would rather recommend a System.Windows.Forms.Timer to periodically update the label... :)

As a matter of fact, that was what I had in mind, but I didn't feel like explaining Timers... :-D.
