Convert CString to CTime / COleDateTime

[P Rex]

Hi guys, I have a string, for example '1085462900'. I have to convert this string into a CTime / COleDateTime value. How can i do this? I get this string from a oracle database. P. :cool:

This number represents Date and Time. The field on the database is from type int which contains this number.

try CTime ct = CTime((time_t)(_atoi((const char*)cs))); and see if it matches the Oracle value

Just for the common knowlege. This number is called UTC time and represents the number of seconds ellapsed since 1.1.1970, it is 0+ GMT time zone without day light saving addition DavidR
