This should work:

DateTime selectedTime = ((DateTime) TimePicker.Value)

public static double ConvertToUnix (DateTime selDate)
{
    var unixStart = new DateTime (1970, 1, 1).ToLocalTime();
    return (selDate - unixStart).TotalSeconds;
}

it works, but i am not sure what does happen to leap seconds, they are not included in unix-time, but they are included in usual time, isnt it so? – Erdinc Ay Sep 04 '15 at 16:13
