Greetings All

I would like to use the current date and time as a serial number in csharp what command or tutorial if there is one should I use?
example: of what I'm trying to produce.

12 03 2010 09 49 33.416
This would represent december 03 2010, 09:49:33.416 am  Also how would I create the leading zero's

That's not a serial number.  A serial number would be, for example, 
simply taking the value of the DateTime.Ticks property.

What you're asking for is a custom date format.  Which you can 
accomplish easily using .NET's custom date format codes.
