Convert ctime to DateTime in C#

[shabnam]

I have some files written using VC++ 6, they use ctime. I need to convert the data to a datetime object in C#. ctime starts from 1 Jan 1970 while datetime in C# apparently starts from 1 Jan 1601.

As a example - the old code stores the date - 15 Sep 2003 as 1063664140 (this includes the time also) - the equivalent value for DateTime is 127081125400000000. I cannot find any appropriate convert function.

Any help will be appreciated

Chiph - that does help somewhat - my date convert fine except for the hour - the other components - including the min and second are fine - the hour is always 7-8 + of what it should be so if the date is 01/01/2003 1:1:1 it will convert as 01/01/2003 8:1:1. Any suggestions?

What timezone are you in?
Remember that the Unix Epoch date is UTC/GMT.

The timezone was the problem - thanks a ton. It is working fine now.
