Date/time question

I have a time value in the number of seconds since 1970. I need to convert
this into a date/time format such as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM or something similar.
This value needs to display in terms of the local time/time zone on which my
program is running.

Are there any built-in functions that do this conversion that take time zone
into account? I'm not sure where to find any VB.NET time-related functions.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Have a look at the 'DateTime' and 'TimeSpan' classes.

dim d as date
d = #1/1/1970#.AddSeconds(NoOfSeconds)

Is the value the local zone or UTC? If it is UTC:

d = d.tolocaltime
