Datetime unknown binary format

Question

I have the following array of bytes:

Byte[] date = { 0x00, 0xf1, 0x04, 0x80, 0x0f, 0xca, 0xa8, 0x62 };

Unfortunately i have no idea how to convert it to a DateTime type.

The only hint that i have is that the "date" part is 10/24/2015 (mm/dd/yyyy), the "time" part exist, but i don't know.

I'm already tried the conversions:

var firstAttempt = DateTime.FromBinary(0x00f104800fcaa862);
var secondAttempt = DateTime.FromFileTime(0x00f104800fcaa862);
var thirdAttempt = DateTime.FromFileTimeUtc(0x00f104800fcaa862);
var fourthAttempt = DateTime.FromOADate(0x00f104800fcaa862);
var fifthAttempt = new DateTime(0x00f104800fcaa862);

But with no success.

someone could help me?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Are you sure that your binary representation of the date is correct? It looks like 10/24/2015 should look like 0x8D2DC060F768000 .

If your Input is correct and it is a different kind of a binary converter - you'll need your own parser. Or some kind of modification of the data source (so it could return string representation for instance)
