How to convert 'Integer' to 'Timestamps'? - discord.net

Question

**I did a effort but got error while testing
Error BC30311 Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to 'Timestamps'.**
I have tried this :
Public Sub test()
client = New DiscordRpcClient("test")
client.Logger = New ConsoleLogger
client.Initialize()
client.SetPresence(New RichPresence With {
.Details = "test",
.Assets = New Assets() With {
.LargeImageKey = "test",
.LargeImageText = "test",
.Timestamps = 0
})
Dim timer = New System.Timers.Timer(150)
AddHandler timer.Elapsed, Sub(sender, args)
client.Invoke()
End Sub
timer.Start()
client.Invoke()
End Sub
here the problem is "Timestamps = 0", So how can i solve.
im trying to use discord rich Presence elapsed timer.

This is actually more of an issue with this Discord-RPC-Csharp library than it is with C#. That being said, I looked into it anyway.
The example code given in the repository for this project shows this as an example
Timestamps = Timestamps.FromTimeSpan(10)
See the error you got is an error specific to C# for when trying to assign one value type to a complete different type. An Integer is not a Timestamp, and a Timestamp is not an Integer. So we need to figure out what Timestamps actually is. So the best way to do this is to right-click on Timestamps and go to "Go To Definition" or hit F12 on it.
Now in RichPresence.cs you can see the class definition for Timestamps. You will see four options
Timestamps.Now
Timestamps.FromTimeSpan(double seconds)
Timestamps.FromTimeSpan(Timespan timespan)
in addition to a constructor
new Timestamps(DateTime start, DateTime end)
Since you haven't told us what this timestamp is supposed to represent in your code, I'll leave it to you to figure out which one of these you want/need to use.
