I have a C# WPF User Interface and c back end. I'm receiving unix Timestamp in nanoseconds from the back end. Is there any way to convert that nanoseconds to human readable format?

Try this 

public static DateTime UnixTimeStampToDateTime( double unixTimeStamp )
{
    // Unix timestamp is seconds past epoch
    System.DateTime dtDateTime = new DateTime(1970,1,1,0,0,0,0,System.DateTimeKind.Utc);
    dtDateTime = dtDateTime.AddSeconds( unixTimeStamp ).ToLocalTime();
    return dtDateTime;
}

    Except the time stamp that the OP is receiving is in *nanoseconds*. You need to divide that value by 1,000,000,000 before calling `AddSeconds`. – Jim Mischel Apr 30 '15 at 22:21
