Answer 1

I doubt you are still seeking an answer, but my workaround was to create a JObject with Newtonsoft and pass that.

Either:

JObject jBytes = Object.Parse(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject, MyDateTimeFmtString);

or

JObject jBytes = JObject.FromObject(myObject, MyJsonSerializer);

The first case was my second choice, but I think there is a bug in Newtonsoft where JObject.FromObject ignores the DateFormatString in JsonSerializer.
