How to convert a Variant time in C#?

[orc]

Hi there,

I'm receiving a variant time parameter (double) from a dll but how do I
convert it to something useful in C#?

Your help is highly appreciated!

Thanks,

OK - got it:
System.DateTime.FromOADate(VariantTimeValue).

Depending on its origin the double could mean almost anything, so you'd
better find out how the time is represented through this specific double.

However, a first guess would be that it's an OLE date value, equivalent to
the Date used e.g. in old VB.

If that's the case you should simply be able to use the static method of
DateTime:

DateTime newDate = DateTime.FromOADate(oldDate);
