DateTime.Now.ShortTimeString

.ShortTimeString converts the time portion of the DateTime object and returns the time to the minute. The results will be formatted as: hh:mm. There is no am/pm value with this and the hour value will be between 0 and 23. To get the time to show am/pm you will need to use the Utility.FormatTime(Date[, Seconds]) method.

Note: The .Today method does not have a time component and will always return a 0.
