c# webservice client - date format

I'm writing a c# app that consumes a web service with datetime type parameter in yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss format. Notice that the parameter is "DateTime" type in web service hence I dont have control over how this type will get formatted when its converted to XML internally.

Can anyone provide a clue on how we can ensure that our web service calls send datetime in required format?

If you send the parameter as an object of the type DateTime you dont have to worry, the DateTime Object stores the data internally not as a string. You just have to make sure that at the moment when you create your client side DateTime object you parse it correctly.

EDIT: of course the parsing of the date in a test-interface (where you enter a string) will not be the same as when you pass directly a datetime object to the client proxy...

what you asked in your comment: to supress the timezone which gets added you can set the attribute dateTimeSerialization to local. But I dont think thats a good idea. just better use localized dates everywhere. more information
