FILETIME to DWORDs

[ashtwin]

Hi, i want to converts FILETIME into two DWORDs, one for date and the ohter for time in the same way NTFS stores file modification, creation and access date. can anybody teell how to do this.

[Chris Losinger]

a FILETIME structure is already two DWORDs...

typedef struct _FILETIME {
DWORD dwLowDateTime; /* low 32 bits */
DWORD dwHighDateTime; /* high 32 bits */
} FILETIME, *PFILETIME, *LPFILETIME;

Do the chickens have large talons?

I think its not a good idea and i don't have any about the NTFS systems. The file time is stored as number of 100 nano second intervels, so that much of number cann't be in a singlr DWORD at one level. This is my thought but don't know excatly..

Hi, thanks for replying. I tried to convert the FILETIME into year, months etc by calculating the no of 100 nano second intervals from 1601. But the value i am geting is quite high. Thanks.
