c# convert DateTimeOffset to zulu time in razor

Question

is there any extension i can use to convert/display my DateTimeOffset type property to Zulu time in razor (cshtml file)? example:

DateTimeOffset = 1028 -----> Zulu = 1428

none of the ToString extension can convert to zulu. example below

myDate.ToString("t")

i like to know if i have to make a converter, or if there's an easier way to do in razor

@RobertHarvey im assuming there's more to that, because if just that did not convert to zulu — Dnguy025, Apr 25 '18 at 20:18
Well, you have to read the article I linked. There are some flags you may have to set properly. — Robert Harvey, Apr 25 '18 at 20:19

If you want to display something in zulu time, you can do .ToString("u"). This will give you something like this: "2020-02-24 19:17:12Z"

turns out Zulu time is 4 hours ahead of DateTimeOffSet time. and it is equivalent to UtcDateTime. So all i had to do was

myDate.UtcDateTime.Tostring("t")
