Question

Hi, I am using command prompt and I entered the following command:
--> NET TIME

It returned me the following message:
Current time at......is 2:09:45 PM
The command completed successfully.

As from the message above, the time do not have milliseconds. How can I include also the milliseconds using the same command: NET TIME ?

Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

Are you sure you are talking about MS-DOS? Where did you dig it out?

Hi Sir, I am using Windows command prompt.

Okay, and you still have a delusion that you have something related to MS-DOS? No, you don't. Not even "DOS". There is no such thing. CMD.EXE is nothing but a regular Win32 application you could write all by yourself, if you wanted to do this mind-clearing exercise. It just uses the regular shell API; passes strings entered by the user and displays the result.

Your question is simply off-topic. It is on the level of a regular system user, not a software developer. Remember, this site is dedicated to software professionals, including students, but not software users. Playing with system commands has nothing to do with software development.

Hi Sir, I have some codes written in C# that will get the value being passed from NET TIME into my program. I shall update the question with the C# codes attached so that you may have a clearer picture of it.

%time% variable has current time with milliseconds, can you use that?

Yes, I have tried using echo %time%. But what I get is local PC time instead of server time(which I get using NET TIME).
