Below is the property in my model:
public DateTimeOffset AcquireDate { get; set; }
Below is the configuration in WebApiConfig:
config.Formatters.Clear();
config.Formatters.Add(new JsonMediaTypeFormatter());
config.Formatters.Add(new XmlMediaTypeFormatter());
Below is the json response (date is in IS 8601 format):
Below is the XML response:
<AcquireDate xmlns:d3p1="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System">
<d3p1:DateTime>2008-01-10T16:40:12.1523923Z</d3p1:DateTime>
<d3p1:OffsetMinutes>330</d3p1:OffsetMinutes>
</AcquireDate>
From fiddler:
In Xml response, datetime and offset are available in two different elements. I want DateTimeOffset as single value, just like json response (in ISO 8601 format).
I could use one more property which would be of type string and that way my problem could be solved (empty setter requires for this property to be serialized).
[DataMember(Name="AcquireDate")]
public string AcquireDateString
{
get
{
return AcquireDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffffzzz");
}
set {
AcquireDate = DateTimeOffset.Parse(value);
}
}
Any other solution apart from that?
Solution should not affect existing Json Serialization which is working fine.
