MongoDB, C# and DateTime's

This technical article details the challenges of storing and retrieving DateTime values from MongoDB using C#. It covers how MongoDB stores all dates as UTC, the behavior of the C# driver with DateTimeKind, and the potential loss of resolution. It provides code examples comparing DateTime and DateTimeOffset, and concludes with a sample custom serializer to ensure local DateTime values are handled correctly.
