Is there a Now time function that gets the Servers Now?

Is there a Now time function that gets the Servers Now?
Instead of the Now from local computer?
Any help is appreciated.

You can use SQL to synchronize your time... I have a VB6 method somehwere
that does it...

bascially, its just a query to the getdate() function.

I take that back...

Trint, your new to programming so this would be an excellent learning
project for you.

There are two distinct .NET ways you could do this. Remoting or Web
Services. Either case, you could set up a server side component (Remoting
Host or a Web Service) that would use the Now function to get the time on
that local machine (the server) and then transmit that to the requesting
client.

Simple app, but you'll get some insight into more .NET technology. Then you
can start asking questions like "what about lag?" and such if your looking
to make your timing calculation more precise =)

Hi Trint,

If you do in ASP.NET
my.textbox.text = Now.tostring

You get the time from the server, to get the client time is more work.

Ahh... damnit... valid point Cor, I keep forgetting Trint is doing ASP.NET
work...

Well... my idea "would" have been cool. =)

I'm using Now now. But I thought it got the local computers time.

Sounds like Spaceballs around here ("I'm using Now Now")

...Some of the script I remember from the movie
"We're at Now Now"
"Go back to then"
"We Can't"
"Why"
"Because we just passed it"
"When will then be now"
"Soon"
