A C# app I'm doing needs "Universal Coordinated Time" since 01/01/2000 in seconds and in hex (4 bytes big endian). So far I have found everything else and not what I'm needing. It seems that no one else is doing this or it would be somewhere easy to find.

TimeSpan ts = DateTime.UtcNow - new DateTime(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc); byte[] big = BitConverter.GetBytes((int)ts.TotalSeconds); Array.Reverse(big); Hans Passant.

You can get the seconds since 1/1/2000 via:
DateTime now = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime(); // Convert to "Coordinated Universal Time"
DateTime origin = new DateTime(2000,1,1); // 1/1/2000
TimeSpan difference = now - origin;
int secondsSinceJan2000 = (int)difference.TotalSeconds; // Convert to 4 byte integerint secondsSinceJan2000BigEndian = System.Net.IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder(secondsSinceJan2000);
