Did you try to reach the documentation? – Czechoslovak

Yes but I didn't reach a conclusion, Do you any resources about it ? – Islas

Can you post the links to the documentation you have read and also add some code lines on the conversion, this way others can help you check for issues. – Balliol

Answer 1

If you mean the Google implementation: quite simply, FromDateTime and ToDateTime

Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.Timestamp protoTimestamp 
    = Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.Timestamp.FromDateTime(DateTime.Now);

(I add that qualification because protobuf-net also defines similarly named types, which have implicit conversion operators to/from DateTime)
