How to convert Time UUID to date time stamp in c#

Question

I have a TimeUuid which I need to convert to a DateTime.

Is there a way to do this in C#?

I am using a CassandraCsharpDriver from DataStax, but it does not have the capability to convert the TimeUuid to Datetime, but the opposite is possible.

Example UUID: d91027c5-bd42-11e6-90be-2b4914b28d57

Answer 1

You can use the GetDate() method of the TimeUuid structure, that returns the DateTimeOffset representation of the value.

TimeUuid uuidValue = row.GetValue<TimeUuid>("time");
// TimeUuid structure exposes GetDate() method
DateTimeOffset dateOffset = uuidValue.GetDate();
DateTime dateTime = dateOffset.DateTime;
