C# Signature:

[ DllImport("kernel32.dll")]private static extern bool

SetSystemTime(ref SystemTime time);

User-Defined Types:

None.

Notes:

.NET is too high-level for things like setting the system time. You'll have to P/Invoke the native function SetSystemTime and re-define the SYSTEMTIME struct:

Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Sample Code:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]

private static extern bool SetSystemTime(ref SystemTime time);

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]

private struct SystemTime{

  [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Year;
  [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Month;
  [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short DayOfWeek;
  [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Day;
  [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Hour;
  [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Minute;
  [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Second;
  [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Milliseconds;
