VB.NET TimeOfDay without Date

Question

I'm trying to show the time of day using the computer's clock, but in the previous time zone (i.e. -1 hour).

I've been doing it this way:

        Dim Tneg1 As String = Now.AddHours(-1)
    lblClock.Text = UTCneg1

Where Tneg1 is a variable to represent the time with 1 hour subtracted.

However, using the Now property shows both the date and the hh:mm:ss. I only want the hh:mm:ss. How do I do this?

They are called `DateTime` variables for a reason – Steve Jun 05 '16 at 08:57 — Steve, Jun 05 '16 at 08:57
`Now.AddHours(-1).ToLongTimeString()`. – Visual Vincent Jun 05 '16 at 09:36 — Visual Vincent, Jun 05 '16 at 09:36

Try this:

Dim OneHourAgo As DateTime
Dim FormattedTime As String

OneHourAgo = Now.AddHours(-1)
FormattedTime = OneHourAgo.ToString("HH:mm:ss")

Debug.Print(FormattedTime)

  Dim timeval As DateTime
        Dim newtimeval As String

        timeval = Now.AddHours(-1)
        newtimeval = Format(timeval, "hh:mm:ss")
        MsgBox(newtimeval)
