Unix Time Class

[XerShade]

A simple class I made in C# that uses Unix Time as a replacement for Environment.Tickcount.

```

using System;

namespace UnixTime
{
///

/// Tick Count object, used to generate time related values.
/// Created as a replacement for so the game's time
/// does not reset when the computer running it resets.
///

public sealed class TickCount
{
///

/// Defines a object that is created using Unix time's values.
///

static DateTime _UnixTime = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);

///

/// Generates the number of ticks since Unix Time started.
///

public static Double Get
{
get
{
// Use Unix Time and DateTime.Now to calculate the value.
return (DateTime.Now - TickCount._UnixTime).TotalMilliseconds;
}
}

///

/// Generates the number of seconds since Unix Time started.
///

public static Double Get
{
get
{
// Use Unix Time and DateTime.Now to calculate the value.
return (DateTime.Now - TickCount._UnixTime).TotalSeconds;
}
}

///

/// Generates the current date as a string.
///

public static String GetDate
{
get
{
// Use DateTime.Now to calculate the value.
return DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString();
}
}

///

/// Generates the current date as a short string.
///

public static String GetShortDate
{
get
{
// Use DateTime.Now to calculate the value.
return DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
}
}

///

/// Generates the current time as a string.
///

public static String GetTime
{
get
{
// Use DateTime.Now to calculate the value.
return DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
}
}

///

/// Generates the current time as a short string.
///

public static String GetShortTime
{
get
{
// Use DateTime.Now to calculate the value.
return DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();
}
}
}
}

Apparently you can't read as I did say what it does before the code.

He was asking what is its relevance.

Well it pretty much does the same as this: [http://php.net/manual/en/function.time.php](http://php.net/manual/en/function.time.php)

So these ticks if you /1000 to make them into seconds can work with php scripts. Adding another method in to get the seconds now.

Two 'Get' properties with different purposes, needs fixing.
