Question

anybody help me to fix this issue ??

Answer 1

Those numbers are unix timestamps.

Lucky for you, conversion is pretty straightforward since they just represent the time passed in seconds since 01.01.1970

// create a new DateTime for the time timestamps start counting from 
var dt = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, System.DateTimeKind.Utc);
var dtDateTime = dt.AddSeconds(myJson.created_at).ToLocalTime();

Where myJson.created_at is your extracted date time.

Now that you realize what these attributes are, consider this question and answers that explain how to convert a unix timestamp to a C# datetime automatically as part of JSON conversion. Note that question is kind of different, you want seconds and not milliseconds like in that answer.
