I am connecting to an API and one of the parameters is Long (13 digits) to hold the current timestamp in VB.Net which represents milliseconds passed from 0:00:00 01.01.1970 in GMT until the current time.

The format should be like this 1290932238757

I tried this syntex :

DirectCast((Datetime.Now - New DateTime(1970, 1, 1)).TotalMilliseconds, Int64)

But the output was : 

01/12/2013 02:06:24
vb.net datetime
