(there space before 5 , before 1)

 dim nowtime datetime = now.toshorttimestring

the above code shows date this

(there no space before 5 or 1)

i trying compare current date , time date , time in database.

you need apply correct formatstring datetime.tostring()

datevalue.tostring("hh:mm")

and date:

now.tostring("mm/dd/yyyy")
