Changing Windows Time

Changing Windows Time

  You can set the system time with the SetSystemTime method from kernel32.dll, here is an little example:

  [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] static extern bool SetSystemTime(ref SYSTEMTIME time); Private Structure <StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> SYSTEMTIME Public wYear As Short Public wMonth As Short Public wDayOfWeek As Short Public wDay As Short Public wHour As Short Public wMinute As Short Public wSecond As Short Public wMilliseconds As Short End Structure Private Declare Function SetSystemTime Lib "kernel32" (ByRef lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME) As Boolean Dim lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME ' Fill the structure and call SetSystemTime(lpSystemTime)

  
  
  I hope this helps.

  Is this right

   

  [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
  static extern bool SetSystemTime(ref SYSTEMTIME time);

  Private Structure <StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> SYSTEMTIME
  Public w2006 As Short
  Public w01 As Short
  Public w11 As Short
  Public wW As Short
  Public w2 As Short
  Public w48 As Short
  Public w12 As Short
  Public w10 As Short
  End Structure

  Private Declare Function SetSystemTime Lib "kernel32" (ByRef lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME) As Boolean

  Dim lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME
  ' Fill the structure and call
  SetSystemTime(lpSystemTime)

  the Dll in the Compact framework is Coredll.dll

  Yes, it is. Are there any errors Have you tried it
  
  When you are running this on a the Compact Framework the method is not found in "Kernel32.dll" but in "Core.dll".
