Asp.net 2.0 DateTime.Now event

I need help figuring out how to effectively use the DateTime.Now event in this circumstance: For my local churce, I will be streaming a live webcast starting at 10:30 every sunday morning. When a button for the Live Webcast is clicked, if the time is between 10:30 and 12:30, I want the click event to do something; if the time the button is clicked is not between 10:30 and 12:30 then do somethign else. Here's what I got so far, and I just don't think I got the right idea here. So, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing this in VB, but I'll take any help you can offer--either in VB or C#. Thanks.

Protected Sub imgbtnWebcast_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles imgbtnWebcast.Click
        If DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Wednesday Then
            If DateTime.Now.Hour > 11 Then
                'Do stuff here
            End If
        Else
            'Do other stuff
        End If
    End Sub

Hmmm... try this.

If DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Sunday Then
 
    If Now.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Sunday Then
        If Now.Hour >= 10 And Now.Minute >= 30 And Now.Hour <= 12 Then
              'Do your thing
        End If
    End If
 
End If

Oh...darn. One thing I forgot to mention, GreymanMSC: I need the time to be the time on the Server. Anyway to easily make this represent the time on the server?

Oh...nevermind! I'm testing on my local machine; hence the time on my computer, lol. Duh. Sorry.
