Serialize Deserialize DateTimeOffset doesn't work

[hcoppen]

Hi,

Is there a way you should serialize and deserialize a DateTimeOffset property? By default it throws an error on deserialize

[xknife-erian]

    [Fact(DisplayName = "DateTimeOffset Test")]
    public void Test2()
    {
        var abc = new Abc() { Name = "XYZ", Time = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow };
        var serializer = new SerializerBuilder()
            .WithNamingConvention(PascalCaseNamingConvention.Instance)
            .Build();
        var deserializer = new DeserializerBuilder()
            .WithNamingConvention(PascalCaseNamingConvention.Instance)
            .Build();
        var yaml = serializer.Serialize(abc);
        var abcNew = deserializer.Deserialize<Abc>(yaml);
        abcNew.Name.Should().Be(abc.Name);
        abcNew.Time.Should().Be(abc.Time);
    }

    public class Abc
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public DateTimeOffset Time { get; set; }
    }

When the test is executed, it fails.

YamlDotNet.Core.YamlException:“Property 'DateTime' not found on type 'System.DateTimeOffset'.”

That looks like it should work. However, I wonder if we need to create a new converter like we had to do for datetime.

YamlDotNet/Serialization/Converters/DateTimeConverter.cs

Resolved in the next version, there is a new datetimeoffsetconverter class that will handle this.
