There is this example code, but then it starts talking about millisecond / nanosecond problems.
The same question is on MSDN, Seconds since the Unix epoch in C#.
This is what I've got so far:
public Double CreatedEpoch
{
get
{
DateTime epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0).ToLocalTime();
TimeSpan span = (this.Created.ToLocalTime() - epoch);
return span.TotalSeconds;
}
set
{
DateTime epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0).ToLocalTime();
this.Created = epoch.AddSeconds(value);
}
}
Here's what you need:
public static DateTime UnixTimeStampToDateTime( double unixTimeStamp )
{
// Unix timestamp is seconds past epoch
System.DateTime dtDateTime = new DateTime(1970,1,1,0,0,0,0,System.DateTimeKind.Utc);
dtDateTime = dtDateTime.AddSeconds( unixTimeStamp ).ToLocalTime();
return dtDateTime;
}
Or, for Java (which is different because the timestamp is in milliseconds, not seconds):
public static DateTime JavaTimeStampToDateTime( double javaTimeStamp )
{
// Java timestamp is milliseconds past epoch
System.DateTime dtDateTime = new DateTime(1970,1,1,0,0,0,0,System.DateTimeKind.Utc);
dtDateTime = dtDateTime.AddMilliseconds( javaTimeStamp ).ToLocalTime();
return dtDateTime;
}
