Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim ulid As String = "01GRH14AA82EY9A7S99YYF2QDY"

Dim dt As ChilkatDateTime
dt.Initialize

'  Unix timestamps stored in ULIDs should be UTC...
Dim bLocal As Boolean = False
'  Set the CkDateTime from the timestamp contained in the ULID
success = dt.SetFromUlid(bLocal, ulid)
If success = False Then
    Log("ULID was not valid.")
    Return
End If


'  You can now get the date/time in any desired format.
'  For example:
Log("Unix timestamp = " & dt.GetAsUnixTime(bLocal))
Log("RFC822 = " & dt.GetAsRfc822(bLocal))
Log("Timestamp = " & dt.GetAsTimestamp(bLocal))

'  Sample output:

'  Unix timestamp = 1675608861
'  RFC822 = Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:54:21 GMT
'  Timestamp = 2023-02-05T14:54:21Z
