Simple Code in C# to Convert DateTime object to the “datetime-local” type used in input controls with MongoDB Driver

As the title suggests, the following code converts a DateTime object to the “datetime-local” type used in HTML5 input controls (i.e. format 2016-10-30T00:00:00.00).  I developed this while working on a personal application using C# and MongoDB.  It uses the ToJson() function/method of the MongoDB Driver.

using MongoDB.Driver;
using System;

Datetime dt = new DateTime();
var dtLocal = dt.ToJson().ToString().Replace("ISODate(\"", "").Replace("Z\")", "");
