exactly. and use a timer if u want it to look like a clock:)

there are no facts, only interpretations

And use the conditional operator ?: to format it like a real clock:)

        int Hours = ((YourTimeVariable / 1000) / 3600);
        int Minutes = ((YourTimeVariable / 1000) / 60) - (Hours \* 60);
        int Seconds = ((((YourTimeVariable / 1000)) - (Minutes \* 60)) - (Hours \* 3600));

        strHours = Hours < 10 ? "0" + Hours.ToString() : Hours.ToString();
        strMinutes = Minutes < 10 ? "0" + Minutes.ToString() : Minutes.ToString();
        strSeconds = Seconds < 10 ? "0" + Seconds.ToString() : Seconds.ToString();

        Time\_TextBox.Text = strHours + ":" + strMinutes + ":" + strSeconds;

strHours = Hours.ToString("D2"); etc. will suffice.

this weeks tips: - make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/... - show exceptions with ToString() to see all information - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

Or maybe just use the ToString method :rolleyes: DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss");

only two letters away from being an asset

or be lazy and use DateTime.ToLongTimeString ( alternatively :DateTime.ToShortTimeString ) methods
