Get local time in 24hr format

I know this is a rather under-level question, if you may, but I'm having some trouble looking for code that I can put in my Windows forms. I just have three mere requirements:

• I need the local time, which is EDT.
• I also need the time in 24-hour format so it's easier to read.
• Where to put the code in m开发者_开发技巧y Windows forms?

Since you've tagged your question with 'winforms' I'm assuming you're running on the .NET Framework. If so, I suggest starting here:

Coding Best Practices Using DateTime in the .NET Framework

... and also checking the documentation on DateTIme formatting here:

Custom Date and Time Format Strings

/* localtime example */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main ()
{
  time_t rawtime;
  struct tm * timeinfo;

  time ( &rawtime );
  timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime );
  printf ( "Current local time and date: %s", asctime (timeinfo) );

 return 0;
}
