How to convert CIM_DATETIME format that obtained using WMI Queries into local time in C++(MFC/Win32)
See the question and my original answer on StackOverflowYou can use the SWbemDateTime object as explained here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20121102-00/?p=6183
Here is the relevant piece of code:
BOOL FileTimeFromCIMDateTime(__in LPCWSTR psz, __out LPFILETIME pft)
{
BOOL fSuccess = FALSE;
ISWbemDateTime *pDateTime;
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(SWbemDateTime), 0,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_PPV_ARGS(&pDateTime));
if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
BSTR bstr = SysAllocString(psz);
if (bstr) {
hr = pDateTime->put_Value(bstr);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
BSTR bstrFT;
hr = pDateTime->GetFileTime(VARIANT_FALSE, &bstrFT);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
__int64 i64FT = _wtoi64(bstrFT);
pft->dwLowDateTime = LODWORD(i64FT);
pft->dwHighDateTime = HIDWORD(i64FT);
fSuccess = TRUE;
SysFreeString(bstrFT);
}
}
SysFreeString(bstr);
}
pDateTime->Release();
}
return fSuccess;
}
Another solution is to port the .NET source to C++, since .NET is open source https://referencesource.microsoft.com/#System.Management/ManagementDatetime.cs,45057a40319a1c83
