DateTime.FromBinary() Method in C#
DateTime.FromBinary(Int64) Method is used to deserialize a 64-bit binary value and recreates an original serialized DateTime object.
Syntax: public static DateTime FromBinary (long dateData);
Here, it takes a 64-bit signed integer that encodes the Kind property in a 2-bit field and the Ticks property in a 62-bit field.
Return Value: This method returns an object that is equivalent to the DateTime object that was serialized by the ToBinary() method.
Exception: This method will give ArgumentException if the dateData is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
Below programs illustrate the use of DateTime.FromBinary(Int64) Method:
Example 1:
csharp
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
public static void Main()
{
try {
DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2010, 1, 1,
8, 0, 15);
long binLocal = date1.ToBinary();
DateTime date2 = DateTime.FromBinary(binLocal);
System.Console.WriteLine( "DateTime before "
+ "operation: {0:y} {0:dd}" ,date1);
System.Console.WriteLine( "\nDateTime after"
+ " operation: {0:y} {0:dd}" , date2);
}
catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException e) {
Console.Write( "Exception Thrown: " );
Console.Write( "{0}" , e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
|
Output:
DateTime before operation: 2010 January 01
DateTime after operation: 2010 January 01
Example 2: For ArgumentOutOfRangeException
csharp
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
public static void Main()
{
try {
DateTime date = DateTime.FromBinary(-100000000000000000);
System.Console.WriteLine( "\nDateTime: + {0:y} {0:dd} " , date);
}
catch (ArgumentException e)
{
Console.WriteLine( "The resulting dateData"
+ " is less than the MinValue " );
Console.Write( "Exception Thrown: " );
Console.Write( "{0}" , e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
|
Output:
The resulting dateData is less than the MinValue
Exception Thrown: System.ArgumentException
