Re: Time Conversion

moni,

You could do the conversion manually. You could do this to get the base
time:

DateTime base = new Date(1970, 1, 1);

And then convert the time from time_t to this:

// The date time in time_t format.
int time_t = ...;

// The time span.
TimeSpan span = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(time_t);

// The date time.
DateTime dateTime = base + span;

Note, you could call the AddSeconds method here on the base instance and
get a new DateTime as well.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I wanted to convert a time value in the form of time_t into a readable
form in C# or vice versa, in order to be able to subtract two time
values and give the result in msecs.

eg.

I have a time value,

1013120149
which is Time in seconds since UTC 1/1/70 in theory.

I need to convert this into,

11:06:31 this form.

or vice vera , i.e from the readable form into the Time in seconds
since UTC 1/1/70.

ANy help would be gr8.

Thanks.
