To get server time you need to make a class and need to modify it by server connection.

var my_date = ServerDateTime.GetServerDatetime().Date;

Get local time

var my_date = DateTime.Now;

You could use:

 DateTime time = DateTime.Now;              
 string format = "MMM ddd d HH:mm yyyy";

 var dt = time.ToString(format);

Makes it aesthetically pleasing. You can format with:

 MMM     display three-letter month 
 ddd     display three-letter day of the WEEK 
 d       display day of the MONTH 
 HH      display two-digit hours on 24-hour scale 
 mm      display two-digit minutes
 yyyy    display four-digit year

Of course you can use the NTP source namespace from Google. It's some source you can download: http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en&sa=N&cd=1&ct=rc#GawBxmf1je8/NTP/NtpClient.cs&q=ntp%20lang:c%23&l=34

yes, use the DateTime.Now to obtain the current date and time on the machine where the program resides (in the case of ASP.NET the server).

Invoking the DateTime constructor is not necessary. Use this instead:

var dt = DateTime.Now;

(This is equivalent, though slightly less verbose, than DateTime dt = DateTime.Now)
