How to show actual Time with DateTimePicker - WinForms [SOLVED]

Question

hi there,

i'm trying to show the actual time, but my datetimepicker1 isnt updating itself.
i've tried refresh() and i included a timer with an interval of 100ms - firing an event to set the value to datetimepicker1.value = datetime.now ... nothing works, any ideas?

// dateTimePicker1
//
this.dateTimePicker1.Format = System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePickerFormat.Time;
this.dateTimePicker1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(472, 420);
this.dateTimePicker1.Name = "dateTimePicker1";
this.dateTimePicker1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(305, 26);
this.dateTimePicker1.TabIndex = 3;

//
// timer1
//
this.timer1.Interval = 100;
this.timer1.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer1_Tick);

#############################
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now;

}
