.NET Core 7 - DateOnly/TimeOnly

Every developer/coder at some point will work with dates. For the majority of those working with dates using DateTime (or DateTimeOffset) will suffice for most task while for others with needs such as interacting with a database which has column type of date it can be awkward transposing from DateTime to date and then it’s now a string. Similarly, working with time via TimeSpan can also be cumbersome for specific task.

Also, when there is a need to work with json files, the same applies so DateOnly and TimeOnly is a welcome addition to the .NET Framework.

In this article learn how to work with DateOnly and TimeOnly with SqlClient data provider, Newtonsoft Json.net and Entity Framework Core 7. Full code samples are available also, find the link in the article.
