title: Salesforce datetime issues
body: <p>I am currently writing a c# .Net application that makes use of the salesforce API. I am sending account objects with datetime fields. </p>
  
  <p>my datetime objects are all in this format "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss" which is also the same format of the date fields that is returned when I do a simple query "SELECT Name, Date FROM Account WHERE ID != null" - I have set a date in the a test account in salesforce manually prior to the query. I have checked everything that has to do with date format and I am confident that I am sending the correct datatype and datetime format to salesforce. </p>
  
  <p>My problem is Salesforce seems to leave the Date field blank. Anyone know of a way I can make sure Salesforce is accepting the date details.</p>
  
  <pre><code>DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
  dtfi.FullDateTimePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss";
  dtfi.DateSeparator = "/";
  string _TempRangeEndDate = "2013-08-31"
  DateTime objDateRangeEnd = Convert.ToDateTime(_TempRangeEndDate,dtfi);
  _TempAccount.Date_End__c = objDateRangeStart; //Salesforce not accepting converted format which is "31/08/2013 00:00:00"
  </code></pre>
