A little bit of extra explanation would be welcome.

1)How should the long look ? There are dozens of ways to represent a date by
a long : ddmmyyyy, mmddyyyy, ..., julian date, ... depending on what you
want to do with it (just representing, calculations, ...)
2)What language are you using ?

Somehow i get the distinct feeling that this might be homework.

Look up "date and time format strings" in the MSDN index.

For the MM / DD / YY format :

public static long DateToLong(DateTime date) {
return date.Month * 1000000 + date.Day * 10000 + date.Year;
}
public static DateTime LongToDate(long date_as_long) {
return new DateTime((int) date_as_long % 10000, (int) date_as_long /
1000000, (int) (date_as_long / 10000) % 100);
}

Example :

Console.WriteLine("{0}", DateToLong(new DateTime(2004,4,28)));
Console.WriteLine("{0}", LongToDate(04282004).ToShortDateString());

The others will be very similar, you will only have to change the
calculations a bit depending on the position you want the different parts of
the date in the long.
