Format from ticks to date

Question

I am needing to transfer some logs which were timestamped in ticks to an XML document. I would prefer the timestamps to be more Specific such as \"July 14, 2009 10:18:04 pm\

Answer 1

Assuming 'logText' is the ticks, try:

DateTime logDate = new DateTime(logText);

Answer 2

If logText is a string, you can convert it to long (Int64) and use this constructor:

DateTime date = new DateTime(long.Parse(logText));
