Sounds like a daylight saving setting problem. Are you sure DST is on? (assuming you are in a country that has daylight saving)

yes we have daylight saving and setting DateTime.SetTimeZone to +1 solve the issue but these make user need to adjust time by him self
i just want to simpley get exact PC time like its without needing for any addtional adjustment

I don't see that problem on my pc the time returned from
B4X: 
DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now)
is the same as the pc clock.

What is your PC timezone?
What is the output of:
B4X: 
Log("offset: " & DateTime.TimeZoneOffset)
Log(DateTime.Now)
Log(DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now))
Click to expand...
Time Zone :UTC+02.00
Note :we have now daylight saving
B4X: 
offset: 0

Are you sure that you are NOT calling DateTime.SetTimeZone somewhere? The offset should be 2 hours.

sorry ,when do test i forget to remove DateTime.SetTimeZone ,offset: value is 2
i think the issue that (useDaylight=false) ,when its actually on PC is true
