Why Don't you use javascript, Javascript enable you to display currenttime in every second

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
    function ShowTime() {
        var dt = new Date();
        document.getElementById("<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>").value = dt.toLocaleTimeString();
        window.setTimeout("ShowTime()", 1000);
    }
</script>

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

<script type="text/javascript">
    // a startup script to put everything in motion
    window.setTimeout("ShowTime()", 1000);
</script>

You should do it in javascript, however when you take time or date through javascript, it is user specific.
user's machine date time may be wrong and you should not rely on that.

you should take current time through server script

System.DateTime.Now()

on pageLoad, and write a function in javascript to increment it every second.

Hope you got the logic.

You should not be writing your time logic in page load.
Infact, AS.Net is a server side framework so you should be using JavaScript to do this.
Start with this[^].
