 Visual studio 2005 C# smartphone 2003

I use
DateTime today = DateTime.Now;

to get todays date and time.

I then need to put the date into textbox1 and the time into textbox2.

What is the syntax please.

 The simplest method is today.ToString() but you'll find additional methods
to output specific formats, use the help files/intellisence/object browser
to discover them.

e.g.

dateTextBox.Text = today.ToShortDateString();
timeTextBox.Text = today.ToShortTimeString();

alternatively you can use a standard or custom format:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpcondatetimeformatstrings.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconstandarddatetimeformatstrings.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconcustomdatetimeformatstrings.asp

In the future you can find help by using the MSDN Library
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/
Bookmark this, it can be your best friend (web browser
notwithstanding).
Search for "DateTime.ToString" and you'll find exactly what you want to
see.
