DateTime.Now vs Now()

[Auguy]

I know this is very basic, but is there any difference in the values returned by DateTime.Now and Now()? I think they are exactly the same, but just thought I would ask to make sure. Is one preferred over the other? Just trying to be consistent in my code.

I'm not sure but by Now(), do you mean Microsoft.VisualBasic.Now()? I try to stick with the regular .Net libraries over the VisualBasic namespace when possible.

Thanks RiverGuy. Yes that is what I meant by Now(). I will follow your advice and convert to DateTime. Fortunately I don't have many change to make because I am now getting the current DateTime from SQL on the server to avoid users playing with the calendar on their local machines.
