MongoDB C#: Cannot deserialize a 'String' from BsonType 'DateTime'












0















I am using Azure CosmosDB's Mongo API in my C# .NET Core app, using the MongoDB driver.



I have a class which contains the following:



class MyModel
{
[BsonElement("mydate")]
public string MyDate { get; set; }
}


and when I try to retrieve the model (the table contains a DateTime), I get the following error:




Cannot deserialize a 'String' from BsonType 'DateTime'.




I have tried doing this:



 [BsonElement("mydate")]
[BsonRepresentation(BsonType.DateTime)]
public string MyDate { get; set; }


but then I got this error:




DateTime is not a valid representation for a StringSerializer.

          Did you try to convert it to



          class MyModel
          {
          [BsonElement("mydate")]
          public DateTime MyDate { get; set; }
          }

          • @MaximilianAst I don't have access to the database, the date is already inserted as it is... is there a way to format it later somehow?
