Now()

[roman66]

how do i use the Now() function in .net (beta 2) without having to import the vb6 assembly for backward compatibility?<BR><BR>i can use it just fine in asp.net, but i have it in a .vb file that i'm trying to compile and the vbc compiler keeps crapping out on me, saying:<BR><BR>error BC30451: The name 'Now' is not declared.<BR>private m_DateTimeCreated as datetime = Now()<BR><BR>this is strange because the documentation says:<BR><BR>The Now and Timer functions are replaced by read-only properties of the same names. The calling sequences for Now and Timer remain unchanged.<BR><BR>any ideas anyone?For more information view the docs for the System.DatTime class.<BR><BR>Happy Programming!yeah, i figured that out right after i posted<BR><BR>thanks for your help though...<BR><BR>btw, would you (or anyone else) happen to know the answer to my question in a previous post?: http://www.aspmessageboard.com/forum/aspplus.asp?M=245319&P=1&F=36<BR><BR>if that's considered a repost, i sincerely apologize - just getting frustrating trying to find a way to grab the actual xml string (not file) that results from an object serialization<BR><BR>thanks again
