C# Signature:
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern bool DosDateTimeToFileTime(ushort wFatDate, ushort wFatTime,
out UFILETIME lpFileTime);
User-Defined Types:
public struct UFILETIME
{
public uint dwLowDateTime;
public uint dwHighDateTime;
}
Notes:
Sample and signature code originally used System.Runtime.InteropServices.FILETIME, but this uses ints instead of uints (DWORDs) meaning that this line:
long hFT2 = (((long) ft.dwHighDateTime) << 32) + ft.dwLowDateTime;
gave incorrect results due to signs.
Tips & Tricks:
Please add some!
Sample Code:
public struct UFILETIME
{
public uint dwLowDateTime;
public uint dwHighDateTime;
}
private static DateTime ConvertDosDateTime(short DosDate, short DosTime)
{
UFILETIME filetime = new UFILETIME();
DosDateTimeToFileTime(DosDate, DosTime, out filetime);
//Reference: http://www.aspemporium.com/howto.aspx?hid=26
long longfiletime = (long)(((ulong)filetime.dwHighDateTime << 32) +
(ulong)filetime.dwLowDateTime);
return DateTime.FromFileTimeUtc(longfiletime);
}
