Return the number of milliseconds since 1970/01/01

The solution posted by OriginalGriff is good, except that the last line should use the TotalMilliseconds property, instead of Milliseconds:

DateTime baseDate = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1);
TimeSpan diff = DateTime.Now - baseDate;
Console.WriteLine(diff.TotalMilliseconds);

The Milliseconds property just gives the milliseconds component of the TimeSpan (the amount left-over after totaling the number of years, days, hours, minutes and seconds), while TotalMilliseconds gives the total number of milliseconds represented by the value.

Try:

DateTime baseDate = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1);
TimeSpan diff = DateTime.Now - baseDate;
Console.WriteLine(diff.Milliseconds);

Hi, You can do like this....

var d = new Date("January 01, 1970");
var n = d.getMilliseconds();


C#

DateTime dt=Convert.ToDateTime("1970/01/01");

long k= dt.Ticks;
