There are two ways. Using formats , in a string:

 DateTime dt = DateTime.Now; string time_str = dt.ToString("HH:mm");

Using the TimeOfDay property in TimeSpan :

 DateTime dt = DateTime.Now; TimeSpan span = dt.TimeOfDay;

To get the current time as a string, use

 DateTime.Now.ToString("T")

I hope you will be able to display the string on the screen yourself.
