Creating a Date and Time Windows Form Application

This is a brief example of how to set a date time in a Windows Form Application in Visual Studio.

It's for beginners to start learning how to code Windows form applications.  I recommend downloading Visual Studio 2015 Community because it's free and compliments learning C#.  I also recommend looking for the free courses by Microsoft on their website like how I did.  Looking for resources from Youtube videos and other sites are available to help you learn.  I just absorbed all the information out there either it be books, websites or videos, they all helped me grasp a foundation for programming.  You need a passion for learning, this is a MUST.  No matter what DO NOT QUIT LEARNING. 

You will succeed if you put in the time and effort.  Always have a project in mind and learn from the examples provided on videos or any tutorials out there. 



Instructions:

Simply start Microsoft Visual Studio and choose C#-Windows Forms Application.

Select 2 buttons, 1 textbox and 1 label.  Drag everything on the form. 

Change Label text to Time is:

Change textBox1 to Get time.

Change the second textBox2 to Set time.

Follow the code given to create a time application.

 using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace First_form
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            textBox1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
        }

        private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(textBox1.Text);
        }
    }
}
