DateTime.Now.ToString(); by default will give you that format.
- or -
DateTime.Now.ToString("G"); for general formatting.

Jens,

Is this in your current culture setting, maybe is it better to show it next
time in dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss aa
Or to use a date as 31 december, now we cannot see if you want to use it for
the USA or for the rest of the English speaking cultures in the world.

Jens,

I see now that you are Danish, in our cultures the am/pm is not used, AFAIK
have you first to change the culture to an English one
(threading.currentthread.currentculture) and that as I wrote in my previous
message depending where the month has to be (in USA or other English
cultures way) or use the ICultureProvider. I thought that Danmark was as
well using a 24 hour clock.
