C# DateTime format

Hi all,

Can we represent DateTime in C# in below format. I haven't found this format in .Net

2016-08-31T15:00:00-04:00

Here is -4 is UTC offset.  The time is local EST time

 I want to serialize the DateTime to Json in the above format. How do we convert to this format.

Thanks in advance

Assuming that the DateTime is from a DateTime object you can use the ToString to get it in that format like this 
var dt = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm-ss:ffff"));

This is my code. How can I set the formatter here.  The datetime is coming from UI as "req2".


 var request = new RestRequest("api/ACSSchedule/", Method.POST) { RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json };
            request.JsonSerializer = new RestSharp.Newtonsoft.Json.NewtonsoftJsonSerializer();
            request.AddBody(req2);
            var response = Execute(request, _client);
