Could you tell me how to convert DateTime to UInt32 in C#.

How (in what format) do you want the date to be stored in the uint
value?

Hi
This is the code in Visual C++

time_t timeNow;
UINT nSeed = time(&timeNow);

How to get nSeed in C# when we have DateTime.Now?

time_t timeNow;
UINT nSeed = time(&timeNow);

How to get nSeed in C# when we have DateTime.Now?

time_t contains the number of seconds since midnight 1/1/1970, so
something like this may give you what you want

TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - new DateTime( 1970, 1, 1 );
uint nSeed = (uint)ts.TotalSeconds;

if you can use long type instead of uint32 there is Ticks property

From MSDN:

public long Ticks {get;}

The value of this property is the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that
have elapsed since 12:00 A.M., January 1, 0001.
