Json() in MVC converts datetime to UTC automatically

Question

I am already storing UTC time in DateTime objects.

When I send this across using Json() serializer these dates are again converted to UTC. I don't want this to happen.

Please help.

• Adriano Repetti: Check the Kind property of your DateTime objects, maybe they are not marked as UTC then they get converted again.
• Gautam Jain: You are right. Please add this as a answer so that I can mark it as correct answer

Answer 1

Check the Kind property of your DateTime objects, maybe they are not marked as UTC then they get converted again.

• jao: Where is this 'Kind' property? What should it look like?
• Adriano Repetti: @jao it's a property of DateTime objects has, for example: var date = DateTime.Now; Console.WriteLine(date.Kind.ToString());
