Using format NOW will just show the current time but the time will not run.
Is it possible to make it to make the time keep running??

use timer control. Set Enable as True in timer properties

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    Label1.Text = Now
End Sub

hi ,
you can add timer tool and write code like that

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Label1.Text = Now
End Sub

and in your form load do that

Timer1.Interval = 200
Timer1.Enabled = True
Label1.Text = Now

i hope it works

Use a Timer with interval set to 1000 and try this

Public Class Form1
Dim starttime As DateTime

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Start()
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Label1.Text = TimeString
End Sub
End Class
