As I put in another comment, your class library might have a type that is equivalent to ISO 8601 data, indeed is convertible to and from it, but is a binary representation at runtime compatible with other types in the language.

The docs even say that, even if many are not aware: > consider DateTimeOffset as the default date and time type for application development. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/datetime/c... |
