It's because TimeOfDay
only does the time component and has its Date component set to all 1's.
You could use something like DateTime.Now
to get this information - it should return the current local date and time of the machine it's executed on.
Question
I made a timer which refreshes every 1000 milliseconds and I put the code as:
Private Sub RealTimeTMR_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RealTimeTMR.Tick
TimeLBL.Text = TimeOfDay.ToLocalTime.ToString
End Sub
One would suspect this to be flawless and simple but when I start the program I get the value of the label as: 01/01/0001 18:59:36
If it make any difference to formats or anything I live in Ireland.

OTHER TIPS
If you only want the time, use:
TimeLBL.Text = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString("g")
