[edit] Using the DateTime ToBinary Method
The ToBinary method is used in special casses. Usually, you can use the ToBinary for network or storing a date in raw memory. We will not discuss how to do these things but we will show you how to convert a date to a binary and from binary.
- Note: ToBinary is frequently used with the FromBinary method to convert binary values back to DateTime values
[edit] Example 1:
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
DateTime d1 = DateTime.Now;
long bin = d1.ToBinary();
Console.WriteLine("Date: " + d1.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Binary: " + bin.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Convert back to date: " + DateTime.FromBinary(bin));
Console.Read();
}
}
