Use a timer to update the time every second. Set the execution interval to 1000 (1 second) and in the timer.OnTicket event have it call lblTime.Text = Datetime.Now.ToShortTimeString();

You should use the Timer control.

Change the properties of the timer as follows
Property Value
Interval 1000
Enabled True

And then handle the Timer.OnTick event.

Mention the code in this event this will help you in updating the time to current system time.

Hope my post has helped you!
