Hello,

I am writing server-client application in C#.
I need to make synchronization between server and client.
I need it because every time when the client sends a message to the server, it (the client) has to know what is the exact time now in the server.

Where can I find information about it?

Thanks a lot!

Why does the client need to know the time on the server? Where is this message being sent to on the server? I would just send the message and let the process on the server tell the time.
