How can I convert a Unix timestamp to DateTime and vice versa

Question

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

Unix time conversion is new in  NET Framework 4 6   You can now more easily convert date and time values to or from  NET Framework types and Unix time  This can be necessary  for example  when converting time values between a JavaScript client and  NET server  The following APIs have been added to the DateTimeOffset structure   static DateTimeOffset FromUnixTimeSeconds long seconds  static DateTimeOffset FromUnixTimeMilliseconds long milliseconds  long DateTimeOffset ToUnixTimeSeconds   long DateTimeOffset ToUnixTimeMilliseconds

You can use  DateTimeOffset  For example  I have DateTime object var dateTime1 DateTime Now   If I want convert the it to Unix time stamps  I can be achieve as follows var unixTimeSeconds  new DateTimeOffset dateTime1  ToUnixTimeSeconds    If you want convert unix timeStamp to normal DateTime  you can use this code piece  var dateTime2   DateTimeOffset FromUnixTimeSeconds unixTimeSeconds  LocalDateTime   or var dateTime2   DateTimeOffset FromUnixTimeSeconds unixTimeSeconds  UtcDateTime   For more information please visit this link   DateTimeOffset ToUnixTimeSeconds Method  DateTimeOffset FromUnixTimeSeconds

To supplement ScottCher s answer  I recently found myself in the annoying scenario of having both seconds and milliseconds UNIX timestamps arbitrarily mixed together in an input data set   The following code seems to handle this well   static readonly DateTime UnixEpoch   new DateTime 1970  1  1  0  0  0  0  DateTimeKind Utc   static readonly double MaxUnixSeconds    DateTime MaxValue - UnixEpoch  TotalSeconds   public static DateTime UnixTimeStampToDateTime double unixTimeStamp       return unixTimeStamp  gt  MaxUnixSeconds         UnixEpoch AddMilliseconds unixTimeStamp          UnixEpoch AddSeconds unixTimeStamp

public static class UnixTime               private static readonly DateTime Epoch   new DateTime 1970  1  1  0  0  0  0            public static DateTime UnixTimeToDateTime double unixTimeStamp                        return Epoch AddSeconds unixTimeStamp  ToUniversalTime                      you can call UnixTime UnixTimeToDateTime double datetime
