I need to deserialize an XML file into a class. I'd like to find the best way to handle DateTime values coming in as YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss
, but the standard expected is YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
.
Ideas are make the class property string then deal with it (per case, add properties that access and convert, add DateTime extension methods) or use custom serialization.
Is there a better way I'm missing? It feels like there could be some sort of configuration on the serializing without writing custom, for example. Just trying to not reinvent the wheel.
