How do you set the system time in VB.Net Code

[Laurence]

Hi All,

Must be simple I'm sure

but does anyone know how to set the Windows System Time/Clock in VB.NET
code?

Hi Laurence,

Thanks for posting to the newsgroup.

You could possibly use the Microsoft VB .NET Runtime library
(Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll). In it there is a DateAndTime class that has a
"Today" property. The object browser summary states: "Returns or sets a
Date containing the current date according to your system." There are a
couple of other properties that have similar descriptions. Haven't tried it
myself, but it might be worth a try...

Hope this helps,
bliz
