I have a DateTime which I want to format to "2009-09-01T00:00:00.000Z", but the following code gives me "2009-09-01T00:00:00.000+01:00" (both lines):
new DateTime(2009, 9, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc).ToString("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss'.'fffzzz")
new DateTime(2009, 9, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc).ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss'.'fffzzz")
Any ideas how to make it work?
This code is working for me:
var datetime = new DateTime(2017, 10, 27, 14, 45, 53, 175, DateTimeKind.Local);
var text = datetime.ToString("o");
Console.WriteLine(text);
-- 2017-10-27T14:45:53.1750000+03:00
// datetime from string
var newDate = DateTime.ParseExact(text, "o", null);
If you don't mind using Newtonsoft.Json:
string result = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(DateTime.UtcNow, new JsonSerializerSettings
{
DateTimeZoneHandling = DateTimeZoneHandling.Utc
});
