`string isoDate = DateTimeOffset.FromUnixTimeMilliseconds(1606813200000).ToString("o");`? — ProgrammingLlama, Jul 26 '21 at 03:18
`1606813200000` is the time in milliseconds between `1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z` (the "unix epoch") and `2020-12-01T09:00:00.000Z`. You can see this by entering it [here](https://www.epochconverter.com/). — ProgrammingLlama, Jul 26 '21 at 03:19

The number you see is a Javascript timestamp (number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC). You can test it in any browser console:

Following this article, you can convert back to DateTime object:

public static DateTime ConvertFromUnixTimestamp(double timestamp)
{
    DateTime origin = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    return origin.AddSeconds(timestamp / 1000); // convert from milliseconds to seconds
}

From the comment, I realize there is this method DateTimeOffset.FromUnixTimeMilliseconds as well:

// Convert Timestampt to DateTimeOffset
var time = DateTimeOffset.FromUnixTimeMilliseconds(1606813200000);

// Convert back to ISO string
var isoString = time.ToString("o");
