Date and Time Format Problems in vb.net

I am trying to truncate the seconds part from the current Date

  Dim nowTime As DateTime = Now.ToShortTimeString

The above code shows time in the format

hh:mm:ss

I want it in the format

hh:mm

The Date Time Picker shows date like this

5/ 1/2011

(There is a space before 5 and before 1)

 Dim nowTime As DateTime = Now.ToShortTimeString

The above code shows Date like this

5/1/2011

(There is no space before 5 or 1)

I am trying to compare the current Date and time with the Date and Time in the database.

In the database I have saved the Date and Time as string.

you need to apply a correct FormatString with DateTime.ToString() like 

dateValue.ToString("hh:mm")

and for the date:

Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")

Use the following:

String format = "What ever format you want"; // Examples: "hh:mm", "MM/dd/yyyy"

String value = youDateTimeObject.ToString(format);
