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

The correct implementation (assuming the current time) is as follows:

DateTime utcNow = DateTime.UtcNow;
DateTime epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
long ts = (long)((utcNow - epoch).TotalMilliseconds);
