Building

You will need:

1. Visual Studio VS2017 (Community Edition) or later

   • netstandard1.0
   • netstandard1.3
   • netstandard2.0
   • netcoreapp1.0

First use

You can use UnixTime32 at most places you are currently using DateTime and can convert one to another. UnixTime64 implements the same properties, operators and functions UnixTime32 does.

var unixTime32 = UnixTime32.Now;
DateTime dateTime = unixTime32.DateTime;
//29. Sept. 2018 - 16:35
unixTime32 = 1538231700;
//add 10 seconds
unixTime32 += 10;
//add a timespan
unixTime32 += TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);

To use in an interop struct simply define the field. It will be marshaled as uint (UnixTime32) or long (UnixTime64).
