Question

I have a timestamp exported from a program that I’m not sure how to convert programmatically using c#

I can get more examples if required

any pointers would be appreciated

1280833200 == 3 aug 2010 12:00

It’s Unix time – the number of seconds since midnight UTC on 1st January 1970. You can use this site to convert the timestamp to an ordinary date and time.

As for conversion in C#, this should work:

double timestamp = 1280833200;
DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
dateTime = dateTime.AddSeconds(timestamp);
