FileTimeToSystemTime in dotnet?

Does anyone know of a .NET method/function for passing a Filetime (long
integer) [for example, badpasswordtime property in ActiveDirectory] and
passing back a valid system time? The old VB6 method required API calls which
I would prefer to avoid.

thanks

DateTime.FromFiletime perhaps?
