Making and syncing clock in Visual Basic

[zohan6934]

The title may be a bit misleading and if so I apologize

 

I'm very new to programming, I've only learned some VB so far, but in my attempt to learn I try to program something different every day,

Most of the time it's something simple, a Trivia question one day, a simple program that displays a message when started

But today I wanted to try something a bit more difficult, I make a clock in VB and sync it to an online clock at http://www.time.gov/

 

I know how to make links to website in applications, but not sure how to have a program reach out to a website for certain information in this case a time

 

I'm not sure how to do this, or if it's even possible in vb, if someone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it

You can use this and just translate C# to VB.NET: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1193955/how-to-query-an-ntp-server-using-c
