use the Now and UtcNow properties to get the currrent date and time

   
 

using System;

class MainClass {

    public static void Main() {

        Console.WriteLine("DateTime.Now = " + DateTime.Now);
        Console.WriteLine("DateTime.UtcNow = " + DateTime.UtcNow);
        DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.Now;
        Console.WriteLine("myDateTime = " + myDateTime);
        DateTime myDateTime2 = DateTime.UtcNow;
        Console.WriteLine("myDateTime = " + myDateTime);
    }
}
