Dear all,
I want to translate PDU to XML like in browser translater by gurux to show event data. I am using GXDLMSTranslator.MessageToXml of the Gurux.DLMS.Net library. I'm able to parse all the contents on XML but i'm having trouble converting the <x:octet-string>07E60408FF0A1A30FF800000</x:octet-string> to the date and time of the event. I tried using the GXDLMSClient.ChangeType to datetime but it throws an "System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime".

The value should be in Standard dlms bluebook time format

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I tested this like this and it worked without problems.
var dt = GXDLMSClient.ChangeType(GXCommon.HexToBytes("07E60408FF0A1A30FF800000"), DataType.DateTime);

Can you try to run it and share your operating system date and time settings if you have problems?
