I think you want  this won t fit in a int though  you ll need to store it as a long    long result   dateDate Year   10000000000   dateDate Month   100000000   dateDate Day   1000000   dateDate Hour   10000   dateDate Minute   100   dateDate Second    Alternatively  storing the ticks is a better idea

Do you want an  int  that looks like 20110425171213  In which case you d be better off ToString with the appropriate format  something like  yyyyMMddHHmmss   and then casting the string to an integer  or a long  unsigned int as it will be way more than 32 bits     If you want an actual numeric value  the number of seconds since the year 0  then that s a very different calculation  e g    result   second result    minute   60 result    hour   60   60 result    day   60   60   24    etc    But you d be better off using Ticks

dateDate Ticks  should give you what you re looking for   The value of this property represents the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that have elapsed since 12 00 00 midnight  January 1  0001  which represents DateTime MinValue  It does not include the number of ticks that are attributable to leap seconds  DateTime Ticks   If you re really looking for the Linux Epoch time  seconds since Jan 1  1970   the accepted answer for this question should be relevant   But if you re actually trying to  quot compress quot  a string representation of the date into an int  you should ask yourself why aren t you just storing it as a string to begin with  If you still want to do it after that  Stecya s answer is the right one  Keep in mind it won t fit into an int  you ll have to use a long
