Question

I’m using a SNMP library for C# and it doesn’t have a good documentation.
When I request a Date it’s returning me a OctetString and I’m not sure what to do with it.

When I convert it to String it become this:
07 DC 02 17 0F 14 0E 00 2D 02 00

Answer 1

just a guess

var b= "07 DC 02 17 0F 14 0E 00 2D 02 00"
        .Split(' ')
        .Select(s => byte.Parse(s, NumberStyles.HexNumber))
        .ToArray();

int year =b[0]*256 + b[1];
int month = b[2];
int day = b[3];
int hour = b[4];
int min = b[5];
int sec = b[6];

DateTime dt = new DateTime(year, month, day, hour, min, sec);

OUTPUT: 2/23/2012 3:20:14 PM

EDIT

Now it is not a guess any more.
Here is the SNMPv2-TC DateAndTime format of the question

EDIT-2

var strdateTime = 
    String.Format("{0}/{1,2:00}/{2,2:00} {3,2:00}:{4,2:00}:{5,2:00}.{6,2:00} {7}{8,2:00}:{9,2:00} UTC",
            year,month,day,hour,min,sec,
            b[7],Convert.ToChar(b[8]),b[9],b[10]);

OUTPUT: 2012/02/23 15:20:14.00 -02:00 UTC
