    The 'Date' Type

    there's a special Date type you can use to store date/time values in mongodb instead of the regular System.DateTime type. the benefits of using it would be:

    • preserves date/time precision
    • can query using ticks
    • can extend it by inheriting

    Examples

    // define the entity
        public class Book : Entity
        {
            public Date PublishedOn { get; set; }
        }
    
    // save the entity
        new Book
        {
            PublishedOn = DateTime.UtcNow
        }
        .Save();
    
    // query with 'Ticks'
        var book = await DB.Find<Book>()
                           .Match(b => b.PublishedOn.Ticks < DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks)
                           .ExecuteFirstAsync();
    
    // query with 'DateTime'
        var book = await DB.Find<Book>()
                           .Match(b => b.PublishedOn.DateTime < DateTime.UtcNow)
                           .ExecuteFirstAsync();
    
    // set/change value with 'Ticks'
        date.Ticks = DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks;
    
    // set/change value with 'DateTime'
        date.DateTime = DateTime.UtcNow;
