Huh, I guess a &quot;long&quot; does hold a number that big.

Huh, I guess a "long" does hold a number that big.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;this.button1.Text = DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToStrin<wbr />g();<br />
<br />
<br />
which gives me numbers like:<br />
<br />
<br />
632855413326400752<br />
<br />
<br />
what I want to do is store this number, not in a text box, but in a variable whose type is large enough to store this value.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know of any variable large enough to store this number.<br />
<br />
<br />
What options do I have?<br />

Storing really large numbers in C#

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
