C# version of Javascript Date.getTime()

Question

What is the best way in c# to get the same result of javascript date.gettime() call?

The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since midnigh

Answer 1

Since JavaScript time is with respect to UTC, I think you will need something like this:

var st = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
var t  = (DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime() - st);
// t.TotalMilliseconds

Now you can use the TotalMilliseconds property of the Timespan.
