Stop Using DateTime in .NET

In most cases within .NET programming, DateTimeOffset is recommended over DateTime. DateTime only represents a date and time, which can lead to ambiguity if the time zone is unspecified. DateTimeOffset, on the other hand, includes the time zone offset from UTC, making it more precise and suitable for business applications that require client-relevant time zones. Using DateTimeOffset helps avoid errors that could arise from using DateTime with unspecified time zones.
