i think my problem is HOW TO FORMAT THE DATETIME: (msdn has no example for c++)

DateTime^ dt = DateTime::Now;
label1->Text=Convert::ToString(dt);

This works, but the output is : 25.09.2012 16:00:02
What i want, is e.g.: 25/Sep/12 16:00:02 and so on.

Thank you!

It is exactly the same:

C++

DateTime^ dt = DateTime::Now;
label1->Text= dt->ToString("ddd/MMMM/yy, hh:mm:ss tt");

or with your requested output:

label1->Text= dt->ToString("dd/MM/yy, hh:mm:ss tt", DateTimeFormatInfo::InvariantInfo);

And here is the documentation for DateTime.ToString for C++:
