DateTime::Now Property
Gets a DateTime object that is set to the current date and time on this computer, expressed as the local time.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The resolution of this property depends on the system timer.
System | Approximate resolution |
|---|---|
Windows NT 3.5 and later | 10 milliseconds |
Windows 98 | 55 milliseconds |
The return value is a DateTime whose Kind property returns DateTimeKind::Local.

You can also use the Now property to retrieve the current local date and time. It allows a local time to be expressed unambiguously as a single point in time, which in turn makes that time value portable across computers. |
Platform Notes
Silverlight for Windows Phone
The following example uses the SpecifyKind method to demonstrate how the Kind property influences the ToLocalTime and ToUniversalTime conversion methods.
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.
