You can format this any way you want by using dt.ToString(MyFormat). Refer to this reference for format strings. "MMMM dd, yyyy" works for what you specified in the question.
Answers so far helped me come up with mine. I'm wary of UTC vs local time; ticks should always be UTC IMO.
public class Time
{
public static void Timestamps()
{
OutputTimestamp();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
OutputTimestamp();
}
private static void OutputTimestamp()
{
var timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks;
var localTicks = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
var localTime = new DateTime(timestamp, DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime();
Console.Out.WriteLine("Timestamp = {0}. Local ticks = {1}. Local time = {2}.", timestamp, localTicks, localTime);
}
}
Output:
Timestamp = 636988286338754530. Local ticks = 636988034338754530. Local time = 2019-07-15 4:03:53 PM.
Timestamp = 636988286348878736. Local ticks = 636988034348878736. Local time = 2019-07-15 4:03:54 PM.
