Hi
I wonder how it will be possible to get the current date and time.
I have looked around and there are many different ways to retreive this.
I wonder what could be a good way to do that.
As for now, I would like to return a string for Date and Time:
2009/05/02 02:26
I try this:
DateTime date1 = new DateTime();
But it returns:
1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM
The standard way to do it is to use the time functions in time.h
#include <ctime>
int main()
{
time_t now = time(0);
char* stime = asctime( localtime(&now) );
cout << stime << "\n";
}Ok, thank you !
I will check that code out.

return statement is missing in your code snippet.
Poster had used DateTime datatype (.net) so it is out of C++ forum.

Its optional. return 0; is implied by omission.

You might be right, I had not noticed that. If OP is writing managed code then the snipped I posted may not work because it is unmanaged code.
You get uninitialized value of DateTime object.
Try this:
DateTime t = DateTime::Now;Next (date and) time don't waste a time on forums: simply click on DateTime word then press F1 ;)
