I'm trying to figure out how to get the epoch time in C#. Similar to the timestamps given on this website: http://www.epochconverter.com/

Does DateTime have a method for that?

Answer

TimeSpan t = DateTime.UtcNow - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1);
int secondsSinceEpoch = (int)t.TotalSeconds;
Console.WriteLine(secondsSinceEpoch);
