Attribute type conversion

Question

I am trying to run a PS script and get the following error (snipped):-

"Cannot convert the "130978519257589890" value of type "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdsLargeInteger" to type "System.Double"

How do I convert this attribute?

I have tried converting like this (and get the same convert error):-

[System.Double]$Value = $Value

Note: I'm not sure if I can instead fetch the attribute value as a System.Double type by tweaking the ADSI Get command:-

$Value = $targetPC.Get($targetProperty)

Thanks

Hello,

To convert a value of type Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdsLargeInteger to type System.Double, you can use the following method:

$Value = [System.Double]::Parse($targetPC.Get($targetProperty))

By the way, is your ultimate goal to represent the property as a System.Date structure? If so, you can use the following method:

$propertyValue = $targetPC.Get($targetProperty)
$datetime = [DateTime]::FromFiletime([Int64]::Parse($propertyValue))

Many thanks!

Yes, you're right we're trying to pull and display an epoch time. I was using the following PS command, but will also try your solution!

$TimeStamp      = [timezone]::CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime(([datetime]'1/1/1970').AddSeconds($Value))
