How to get Current System Time in C#

Question

Hi Guys i have a problem im working on a simple Chat application similar to MSN Messenger using the Sockets and the Console. I want to be able to display the time (at that given moment) next to the message that a user sends/recieves e.g. Mike (09:50) says: Hello World I've googled it and cant find a way to do it :( Any suggestions? Thanks
