Getting last reboot time
c#, date
Solution
this answer should help you. If you want to know when the system was last rebooted just take the uptime value and subtract it from the current date/time
code from linked answer
public TimeSpan UpTime {
get {
using (var uptime = new PerformanceCounter("System", "System Up Time")) {
uptime.NextValue(); //Call this an extra time before reading its value
return TimeSpan.FromSeconds(uptime.NextValue());
}
}
}

Possible Duplicate: Displaying the build date How to know when was Windows started or shutdown? for my purposes I am writing a C# executable that will calculate the difference in time (minutes) from the time right now and the time the server was last rebooted. What I am currently doing now is capturing and parsing the output from cmd -> "net stats server" and creating a new `DateTime` object then comparing that with `DateTime.Now` with a `TimeSpan` object. Is there a cleaner way to do this without the use of 3rd party downloads? I am scared that not all date formats from "net stats server" are in the format that I will expect. **edit my bad, this is a duplicate, but for what it is worth my solution was using this: ``` float ticks = System.Environment.TickCount; Console.WriteLine("Time Difference (minutes): " + ticks / 1000 / 60); Console.WriteLine("Time Difference (hours): " + ticks / 1000 / 60 / 60); Console.WriteLine("Time Difference (days): " + ticks / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24); ```
