convert time_t to ticks
<p>I have a function that convert ticks to time_t format</p>

<pre><code> long ticks = DateTime.Now.Ticks;

       long tt = GetTimeTSecondsFrom(ticks);

  long GetTimeTSecondsFrom(long ticks)
    {
        DateTime epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
        return (long) (new DateTime(ticks) - epoch).TotalSeconds;
    }
</code></pre>

<p>Now i am confused how to convert it back to ticks with some mathematical formula and not with a function.</p>

<p>Any suggestions...??</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Let me take a general case and explain.
DateTime.Now.Ticks give me a value 633921719670980000 which is in tics</p>

<p>then i convert this in time_t with the above function and get tt = 1256575167</p>

<p>now i want to convert this back to 633921719670980000. for this i need a formula</p>
