Need to convert DWORD to Date Time
-
Yes I using a dll the DWORD is return from that dll and the Datetime is coded in that value.I want to check that date and time in vc++
:sigh: Please try to understand what we are asking before replying. How is the date encoded in the DWORD ? In other word, what does a digit represent ? A second, a milisecond, ... ? To which date correspond the 0 value ?

What CPallini wanted to know (I suppose) is how is your date coded into your DWORD ?

I strongly doubt that it is the
SDK's reference ofDWORD(i.e. please indicate the function to whichSDKhelp actually refers). Your number represents roughly 52 seconds, what conversion do you need? :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

Check Various Time Functions available and find the suitable one[^] I think the value you have is the result of "GetTickCount()" API.

GetTickCount returns a number of miliseconds, not a number of 100-nanoseconds.

Actually 100-nanosend intervals are recorded inside
FILETIMEstruct, hence functions likeGetSystemTimeAsFileTimeare possible candidates. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

5! That'd solve almost 99% of all problems in the world, I'd say. :laugh:

This is fun! Can I have a turn guessing at what function he used to get the value? Pleeeeeezzzz, it's urgent!

Damn it! Stand in the queue.

Yes, now it's your turn. Turn ended (do you realize we're talking about 100-nanosecond intervals? It is fu****g urgent!!!!). :)

I need to convert DWORD to Date time. Can any one suggest me
Based on the limited information you've provided, I'd go with something like:
DWORD dw = 524642425;
Date time dt = dw; ;)Now if you want a more helpful, detailed answer, please rethink your question. Ask yourself something like, "What does 524642425 represent?" Is it the number of seconds since the start of time, or the number of milliseconds since Windows was last started, or the number of nanoseconds since the start of the year, etc?

A nanosecond is one billionth of a second. If you are storing Time in a DWORD represented as 100 nanoseconds then you would not be able to store very much time. a DWORD is a32-bit unsigned integer (0 through 4294967295). You are probably recieving a FILETIME structure: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724284(VS.85).aspx[^] If for some reason you are actually using a DWORD then you can get seconds like this and work from there.
DWORD dwTime = 524642425; DWORD dwSeconds = (dwTime/10000000); //52.4642425 seconds
