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

I guess this will do the trick :)

public double MilliTimeStamp(DateTime TheDate)
        {
            DateTime d1 = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1);
            DateTime d2 = TheDate.ToUniversalTime();
            TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(d2.Ticks - d1.Ticks);

            return ts.TotalMilliseconds;
        }
