Currently I am using the following code to track my system time.

C#

int spendMinute, spendSecond;
DateTime currentTime = DateTime.Now;
spendMinute = currentTime.Minute;
spendSecond = currentTime.Second;

But I want something by which I can get the current global time, that is the time will not change for any system change.

DateTime.Now will not give you my system time if i access your application,that is if i access your app at 11:00 AM and if its 3:00 PM according to server time than you will get server one,not mine.

I don't know what you mean by Global time but you can refer to this link

Problem with DateTime.Now on Server[^]
