Is this all your problem is if that is so you can use the DateTime.now().If you could elaborate the problem you may get a better solution

I do not fully understand what your requirement is. Since you added a "SQL2005" tag, I suppose you need a query for getting the date and time:

SQL

SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

I am using DateTime.Now.ToString("T") but this not sufficient.

For SQL Server 2005, you get the current date and time on the database server using GETDATE. Details of this function can be found here[^].

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Is the SQL Server tag unimportant? If you want to get the date and time to store against a record in SQL Server, then use GetDate(). If not, then use one of the solutions defined here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1008111/how-do-i-get-the-exact-time-for-a-remote-server-in-c-sharp
