Anony,

A datetime's Ticks property contains the raw number that represents that
datetime's date and time.

anony,
What specifically do you mean by "its 13 digit numeric value"?

Especially consider that a DateTime has more then 13 "digits" of data...
(there are 21 "digits" of data...

You could possible use DateTime.ToString to convert the elements of a
DateTime to a string in the format you desire.

Dim value As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Debug.WriteLine(value.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmssfffffff"), "now")

For details on custom datetime formats see:

For information on formatting in .NET in general see:

Hope this helps
Jay

I was thinking of the time portion having 13 digits. Thanks to all who
responded.
