Does the .NET framework support getting the current time in seconds based on UNIX timestamp?

Question

I am wondering if .NET contains a method to convert the current time in seconds or milliseconds to a UNIX timestamp (offset from 1970/1/1)?

Answer 1

TimeSpan t = (DateTime.UtcNow - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1));
Console.WriteLine((int)t.TotalSeconds);
