.net - how to store c# datetime in text database field -
i have built dynamic form system, accepts types of textfields, dropdowns , datetimes.
the form answers dynamic, stored text, or text version of id dropdown answer.
for datetimes, want know best format serialise c# datetime text is, purely use seralisation. have , unix tics extension working, use javascript calls. feel there better option.
obviously datetime.parse used on way back, use on way out?
you'd use tostring appropriate standard or custom date/time format string.
however, need very careful this:
- i'd suggest using 
cultureinfo.invariantcultureperform conversion (and likewise when parsing) avoid culture-specific values - you need consider whether serialize 
kindofdatetime. these local, universal or unspecifieddatetimevalues? should usedatetimeoffset, serialize offset too? - what precision need?
 - what else reading data? "standard" format such iso-8601 might idea, potentially extended maintain same precision 
datetimeitself. (the standardooroformat string produce iso-8601 strings.)
