I have a label called DateTime in my C# WPF application and I want it to display the Current Day/Month and the time HH:MM:SS

C#

private void DateTime_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    DateTime.Content = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString("DD/MM HH:MM:SS");
}

but i get this error

SQL

Label' does not contain a definition for 'Now' and no extension method 'Now' accepting a first argument of type 'Label' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

It is a really strange name for a Label! You are using the name of class "DateTime" for a control, don't you see it? You need to re-name your Label (e.g. "myDateTime").
