i'm doing this
B4X:
DateTime.DateFormat = "dd/MM/yy"
DateTime.TimeFormat ="HH:mm:ss"
Dim d As String = "07/11/15"
Dim t As String = "09:20:00"
Dim l As Long = DateTime.DateTimeParse(d,t)
Log(" Parsed date/time = " & l)
and I get this
Parsed date/time = 1446888000000
I don't think this is right, if not what am I doing wrong

Hi dgoss,

what does it make you think the result is wrong?
Ticks are the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. What did you expect?

It is correct. Add the rebuttal:
B4X:
Log(" date-time " & DateTime.Date(l))
Log(" date-time " & " " & DateTime.Time(l))


[If necessary, you may keep (save) the original formatting and restore it]

Just wanted confirmation what I was doing was correct and as happens it was
