DateTime's representation in milliseconds?

You're probably trying to convert to a UNIX-like timestamp, which are in UTC:

yourDateTime.ToUniversalTime().Subtract(
    new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc)
    ).TotalMilliseconds

This also avoids summertime issues, since UTC doesn't have those.

In C#, you can write

(long)(date - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1)).TotalMilliseconds

As of .NET 4.6, you can use a DateTimeOffset object to get the unix milliseconds. It has a constructor which takes a DateTime object, so you can just pass in your object as demonstrated below.

DateTime yourDateTime;
long yourDateTimeMilliseconds = new DateTimeOffset(yourDateTime).ToUnixTimeMilliseconds();

As noted in other answers, make sure yourDateTime has the correct Kind specified, or use .ToUniversalTime() to convert it to UTC time first.
