This other solution for covert datetime to unixtimestampmillis.

private static readonly DateTime UnixEpoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);

    public static long GetCurrentUnixTimestampMillis()
    {
        DateTime localDateTime, univDateTime;
        localDateTime = DateTime.Now;          
        univDateTime = localDateTime.ToUniversalTime();
        return (long)(univDateTime - UnixEpoch).TotalMilliseconds;
    }
