ALimas22 System.TypeException: Invalid conversion from runtime type Date to Datetime
I need to get the milliseconds of the "CreatedDate" field for a case in my Apex controller extension class. The code looks like this:
long creationDateInMillis = ((DateTime)aCase.get('CreatedDate')); // aCase is the object that's passed in to the constructor
When the method that contains this line gets invoked, that line causes the error "System.TypeException: Invalid conversion from runtime type Date to Datetime".
According to the documentation, "CreatedDate" is of type "DateTime", so I'm confused as to why the above casting would not work and why it thinks "CreatedDate" is a "Date" instead of a "DateTime"?
I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong here. I need the accuracy down to the milliseconds, so cannot just cast to "Date" as that'll loose the time component.
Thank you.
Try this:
Integer creationDateInMillis = aCase.CreatedDate.millisecond();

Try this:
Integer creationDateInMillis = aCase.CreatedDate.millisecond();
Thank you very much. Such a simple syntax. :robothappy:
I didn't properly state the need (and didn't see there was a "DateTime.millisecond()" until the posted reply) as I really need the whole "DateTime" value converted to include milliseconds and I didn't include the call to "DateTime.getTime()" in the code snippet in my original posting.
