Return Value

Type: System::Int64

The number of seconds that have elapsed since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

Unix time represents the number of seconds that have elapsed since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z (January 1, 1970, at 12:00 AM UTC). It does not take leap seconds into account.

This method first converts the current instance to UTC before returning its Unix time. For date and time values before 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z, this method returns a negative value.

The following example calls the ToUnixTimeSeconds method to return the Unix time of values that are equal to, shortly before, and shortly after 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
