DateTime.ToBinary() Method in C#
The DateTime.ToBinary() method in C# is used to serialize the current DateTime object to a 64-bit binary value that can be used to recreate the DateTime object. The return value is a 64-bit signed integer.
Syntax
Following is the syntax −
public long ToBinary ();
Example
Let us now see an example to implement the DateTime.ToBinary() method −
using System;
public class Demo {
public static void Main() {
DateTime d = new DateTime(2019, 10, 10, 8, 10, 40);
Console.WriteLine("Date = {0}", d);
long res = d.ToBinary();
Console.WriteLine("64-bit binary value : {0}", res);
}
}Output
This will produce the following output −
Date = 10/10/2019 8:10:40 AM 64-bit binary value : 637062918400000000
Example
Let us now see another example to implement the DateTime.ToBinary() method −
using System;
public class Demo {
public static void Main() {
DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine("Date = {0}", d);
long res = d.ToBinary();
Console.WriteLine("64-bit binary value : {0}", res);
}
}Output
This will produce the following output −
Date = 10/16/2019 8:15:56 AM 64-bit binary value : -8586303931293472296
