CurrentTimeTicks looks like a 100ns count from the year 1 AD. You could try:
new Date( CurrentTimeTicks/10000 - new Date().getTime() ) Then use the Date.toString() or Date.toUTCString() method to examine the result. You may need to adjust if CurrentTimeTicks isn't relative to UTC. Also, don't assume daylight savings time is always a one-hour offset. Some time zones work from increments of a quarter-hour. You have the UtcOffsetTicks available to give you the correct offset.
