How to Get Server Reboot Time?

I am writing in C# .NET and am using System.Environment.TickCount
(32-bit integer) to get the number of milliseconds since the server was
rebooted.

The problem is that the server has been up for over 30 days and the
32-bit integer is coming back negative. Of course, I can extend it
with zeros and make it a 64-bit integer, but what will happen after 60
days or so?

Will the C# code then loop around through zero and start reporting a
low number of milliseconds?

Or, better yet, was it a sure-fire way to find out when the server was
rebooted?

(I can use WMI if necessary).

includes an example using WMI
