I found this sample source code for C# from How to convert a Unix timestamp to DateTime and vice versa?:
DateTime date = new DateTime(2011, 4, 1, 12, 0, 0, 0);
DateTime epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
TimeSpan span = (date – epoch);
double unixTime =span.TotalSeconds.Dump();
If I was to insert into a MYSQL table the value of unixTime, would this be equivalent of a MYSQL timestamp datatype value? I just want to confirm this.
It depends on the version of MySQL. TIMESTAMP field format has been changed from unixtime to dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss from 5.something. If you want to insert a unixtime into a timestamp field, you should use FROM_UNIXTIME() builtin.
