Get the exact time from an atomic clock

SNTP and NTP protocols enable your program to get the exact time from public time servers over the Internet. You can keep all the computers in your multi-tier application synchronized with an atomic clock to get rid of problems with different local clocks. Get an exact time-value for your time-critical database entries.

Single line of code to synchronize with time server

The Rebex Time for .NET component is designed with ease of use in mind. The most common operation - geting time from the time server and synchronize local computer time with it - takes only one line of code:

// synchronize local time with time server

SimpleSntp.SetTime('ntp.globe.cz');

Complete control over comunication with SNTP or NTP server

Rebex Time for .NET client library supports SNTP and NTP version 3, 4. Advanced features of the component enable you to use both sync and async operation mode, gain direct access to all NTP packet fields, use different server port and more.

.NET 1.0, .NET 1.1, .NET 2.0 and Mono supported

Time for .NET works on all major .NET Framework implementations. No need to learn new API when going mobile. Synchronize your iPaq time with atomic clock with the sample application.
