Best practices for DateTime serialization in .NET 3.5

by

I think the best way of doing this is to always pass the object as UTC, and convert to local time on the clients. By doing so, there is a common reference point for all clients.

To convert to UTC, call ToUniversalTime on the DateTime object. Then, on the clients, call ToLocalTime to get it in their current time zone.
