Rebex Time for .NET/.NET CF

Get the exact time from an atomic clock

Time for .NET is a powerful and easy-to-use component for C#, VB.NET and other .NET languages. It implemens the client side of SNTP and NTP protocols that enable your .NET applications to get exact time from public time servers over the Internet. This makes it easy to keep all the computers running your application synchronized with an atomic clock to eliminate problems caused by mismatched system time, or to get the exact time value for your time-critical database entries. Determining the right time has never been easier.

Synchronize with a time server in a single line of code

It is easy getting started with Rebex Time for .NET. The most common operation - synchronizing the local system time with a time server - only takes a single line of code:

C#

Ntp.SynchronizeSystemClock("pool.ntp.org");

VB.NET

Ntp.SynchronizeSystemClock("pool.ntp.org")

Advanced SNTP and NTP functionality

Rebex Time for .NET supports SNTP and NTP versions 3 and 4. With few lines of code, you can determine the time difference between the local system and remote time server, set the local system clock to a desired value, determine the time server stratum or access additional NTP packet fields.
