Question

How do I convert DateTime to an Integer value?

Edit: How do I convert DateTime to a String value?

Example

String return value of 20100626144707 (for 26th of June 2010, at 14:47:07)

Answer 1

That could not be represented as an integer, it would overflow. It can be a long, however.

DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(2010, 6, 26, 14, 44, 07);
long time = long.Parse(dateTime.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss"));

However, it would be more intuitive to simply express it as a string, but I don’t know what you intend to do with the information.

Edit:

Since you’ve updated the question, the answer is simpler.

string time = dateTime.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss");
