        DateTime variable = DateTime.Now;
        long ticks = variable.Ticks;

        Console.Read();
    }

[edit] Convery Ticks Back to DateTime

Now that we have converted a DateTime object to a Ticks now we have to learn how to convert is back to a DateTime value.

using System;
class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        long ticks = 633117518171562500;
        DateTime date = new DateTime(ticks);
        Console.WriteLine(date.ToString());
        Console.Read();
    }
}

Output:

4/9/2007 9:43:37 PM
