Passing DateTimeOffset as WebAPI query string

Question

I\'ve got a WebAPI action that looks like so:

[Route(\"api/values/{id}\")]
public async Task Delete(string id, DateTimeOffset date         


        

Answer 1

Use the ISO 8601 datetime format specifier:

$"http://localhost:1234/api/values/1?date={DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("o")}"

or

$"http://localhost:1234/api/values/1?date={DateTime.UtcNow:o}"
