ImportCustomObjects DateTimeOffset format

Hi,

I’m using Aspose.Cells for .Net and have to import a custom project that has DateTimeOffset field.
ImportCustomObjects seems to use ‘dateFormatString’ parameter only for DateTime type, but not for DateTimeOffset type.

Code example below.

Can we do something about it?

using System;
using Aspose.Cells;

namespace CellsDateTimeFormat
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
	        var foo = new Foo
	        {
		        FooDateTime = DateTime.UtcNow,
		        FooDateTimeOffset = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow
	        };

	        var workbook = new Workbook(FileFormatType.Xlsx);
	        var sheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add("Foo");
	        sheet.Cells.ImportCustomObjects(new[] {foo}, null, true, 0, 0, 1, true, "yyyy-mm-dd", true);
			workbook.Save(@"C:\temp\foo.xlsx");
        }
    }

	class Foo
	{
		public DateTime FooDateTime { get; set; }
		public DateTimeOffset FooDateTimeOffset { get; set; }
	}
}

Hi @Amjad_Sahi

Thanks for a really quick fix! I’m using .Net Core, so I couldn’t use provided DLL even after adding System.Drawing.Common and System.Text.Encoding.CodePages through NuGet, I got an exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.NotSupportedException: No data is available for encoding 1252. For information on defining a custom encoding, see the documentation for the Encoding.RegisterProvider method.

Our app is using .Net Core and NuGet for package management.
Do you have an idea when it might be available there?

Thanks!

@denpmr,

Normally we provide fixes for .NET 2.0 and .NET 4.0 framework versions in the forums. We will check if we could provide you .NET Core fix. Alternatively, the fix might be included in the the .NET Core version of the upcoming official release, i.e., Aspose.Cells for .NET v18.6. We only publish official releases onto Nuget/Maven repos.

We will keep you posted in the forums.
