How do I convert from 'Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.Timestamp to 'System.DateTime'

Question

I want to map datetime in c# datetime in protobuf . Do you have any suggestion to do this?

Yes but I didn't reach a conclusion, Do you any resources about it ? — Mohadese Entezari, Sep 15 '20 at 10:20
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. — Pimenta, Sep 15 '20 at 11:18

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)
