Setting a dateTime with only two characters as milliseconds

I have a WCF webservice I use to set some date using the following code :

foo.StartDateTime = DateTime.UtcNow;

Unfortunately, at the output of the WCF webservice, the date is the following :

<a:startDateTime>2019-01-30T08:54:13.698Z</a:startDateTime>

The issue is that the millisecond part must be on 2 characters only because our middleware can process only date like that. I know it's valid ISO 8601 but still.

How is it possible to set the date that will be in the response of the WS with only two characters ?

It has a WSDL impact not desired if possible – Xavier W. Jan 30 '19 at 15:55

[This answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/27860910/2557128) combined with the mask `yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.ffK` should be what you need. – NetMage Jan 31 '19 at 00:59
