以下是我的解决方案:

public long GetTime()
{
    DateTime dtCurTime = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();

    DateTime dtEpochStartTime = Convert.ToDateTime("1/1/1970 0:00:00 AM");

    TimeSpan ts = dtCurTime.Subtract(dtEpochStartTime);

    double epochtime;

    epochtime = ((((((ts.Days * 24) + ts.Hours) * 60) + ts.Minutes) * 60) + ts.Seconds);   

    return Convert.ToInt64(epochtime);
}

我使用以下扩展方法进行epoch转换

public static int GetEpochSeconds(this DateTime date)
    {
        TimeSpan t = DateTime.UtcNow - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1);
        return (int)t.TotalSeconds;
    }

public static DateTime FromEpochSeconds(this DateTime date, long EpochSeconds)
    {
        var epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
        return epoch.AddSeconds(EpochSeconds);

    }

// convert datetime to unix epoch seconds
public static long ToUnixTime(DateTime date)
{
    var epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
    return Convert.ToInt64((date.ToUniversalTime() - epoch).TotalSeconds);
}

应该对DateTime对象使用ToUniversalTime()。

如果您没有使用4.6，这可能会有所帮助

    /// <summary>
    /// DateTime as UTV for UnixEpoch
    /// </summary>
    public static readonly DateTime UnixEpoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);

    /// <summary>
    /// Per JWT spec:
    /// Gets the number of seconds from 1970-01-01T0:0:0Z as measured in UTC until the desired date/time.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="datetime">The DateTime to convert to seconds.</param>
    /// <remarks>if dateTimeUtc less than UnixEpoch, return 0</remarks>
    /// <returns>the number of seconds since Unix Epoch.</returns>
    public static long GetIntDate(DateTime datetime)
    {
        DateTime dateTimeUtc = datetime;
        if (datetime.Kind != DateTimeKind.Utc)
        {
            dateTimeUtc = datetime.ToUniversalTime();
        }

        if (dateTimeUtc.ToUniversalTime() <= UnixEpoch)
        {
            return 0;
        }

        return (long)(dateTimeUtc - UnixEpoch).TotalSeconds;
    }    

.Net 4.6及以上版本请使用

DateTimeOffset.Now.ToUnixTimeSeconds()

感谢LukeH，我整理了一些易于使用的扩展方法:

public static DateTime FromUnixTime(this long unixTime)
{
    var epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
    return epoch.AddSeconds(unixTime);
}

public static long ToUnixTime(this DateTime date)
{
    var epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
    return Convert.ToInt64((date - epoch).TotalSeconds);
}

请注意下面来自CodesInChaos的评论，上面的FromUnixTime返回一个带有Utc Kind的DateTime，这很好，但上面的ToUnixTime更可疑，因为它没有说明给定日期的DateTime是什么类型。要允许date的Kind为Utc或Local，请使用tuniversal time:

public static long ToUnixTime(this DateTime date)
{
    var epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
    return Convert.ToInt64((date.ToUniversalTime() - epoch).TotalSeconds);
}

ToUniversalTime将本地(或未指定)DateTime转换为Utc。

如果你不想在从DateTime移动到epoch时创建epoch DateTime实例，你也可以这样做:

public static long ToUnixTime(this DateTime date)
{
    return (date.ToUniversalTime().Ticks - 621355968000000000) / 10000000;
}
