How can you set the system date/time with vb.net?

[tahuya_rat]

Seems like it should be pretty simple to me, but I'm coming up short
on answers. I'm not trying to find out how to sync to an atomic clock
or anything like that, I just want to know the procedure for setting
the date/time to whatever I may want.

TIA

You can shell out and use Date|Time command line utilities..

VB provides

'DateAndTime.TimeOfDay'
'DateAndTime.TimeString'
'DateAndTime.Today'
'DateAndTime.DateString'

which can be set to the desired date/time.

Alternatively you can use p/invoke on 'SetSystemTime':
