DataContractJsonSerializer - Deserializing DateTime within List<object>

Question

I\'m having trouble using the System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.DataContractJsonSerializer class to deserialize DateTime instances contained within a List

Answer 1

In the .NET Framework version 4.5 the DataContractJsonSerializer has a constructor that accepts a DataContractJsonSerializerSettings object that can be used to set the DateTimeFormat:

var ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(CreateOmsEntryCommand),
              new DataContractJsonSerializerSettings
              {
                  DateTimeFormat = new DateTimeFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")
              });
