In my current scenario i had saved Ticks value calculated in C#; now what i want is read that tick value and get the same date in Java.

@Asoo: Okay. Walking to work ATM - code in twenty minutes. Basically divide by ticks per millisecond and subtract an offset. You should also bear timezone offsets in mind.

Thanks @Skeet....But if i want to calculate the ticks in Java and read them in C#.....i tried this but it does not gives the identical value: TimeZone utc = TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"); Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(utc); calendar.set(2010,8,14,0,0,0); System.out.println(calendar.getTimeInMillis() * TICKS_PER_MILLISECOND + TICKS_AT_EPOCH);

@Asoo: It looks like it's keeping the existing millis-in-second value - call calendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0); before the other call to calendar.set(). I'll update my answer.

There's a tiny, tiny, tiny improvement you could make, if you added 5000 to (ticks - TICKS_AT_EPOCH) before you divide by TICKS_PER_MILLISECOND. Then you'd be rounding to the nearest millisecond instead of truncating down.
