I have a problem with Time conversion between platforms. I get a Ticks filed from object created in full .Net and then I create new DateTime object in MF using this value. In new object is completely diffrent date and time. Can somebody tell me how to solve this problem?

Could you be more specific?
Report an example, please.

Not having researched this, the time taken from the ticks is usually an offset from a base time. I'd be looking to create a time on both platforms with zero ticks. This will be the reference time. Display this time on both platforms - are they different?

Is it really completely different or has just invalid year? In .NET Micro Framework the time origin is 1/1/1601 (vs. 1/1/1 in the 'full' .NET Framework), so you'd need to adjust it:In new object is completely diffrent date and time. Can somebody tell me how to solve this problem?
DateTime microDateTime = new DateTime(ticksFromFullFramework - 504911232000000000L);

Are the 2 ticks per second the same ? I think not ... just a thought !
Started with C in 1985, moved to Vb3 ... to vb6 and stopped. Now started with .Net and learning C# and VB.net and wishing VB.net was on MF !

This solved my problem! Thank you! And others for Interest.Is it really completely different or has just invalid year? In .NET Micro Framework the time origin is 1/1/1601 (vs. 1/1/1 in the 'full' .NET Framework), so you'd need to adjust it:
DateTime microDateTime = new DateTime(ticksFromFullFramework - 504911232000000000L);

It seems the documentation is incorrect, I have filled an issue on CodePlex.This solved my problem!

It seems to me that most of the official documentation is a "copy-and-paste" from the classes of the standard framework.
For example, here is the SerialPort overview, that has almost on relation with the actual MF implementation.
