Date in Javascript vs C#

Date usage in Javascript and C# are very similar. Here is the comparison of the common methods that I use frequently.

Method	Javascript	C#
Date to String	`date.toISOString().split("T")[0]`	`date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");`
Date to String	Input: `Thu Jun 11 2020 00:00:00 GMT+0800` Output: `2020-06-11`
String to Date	`new Date("2019-06-11")`	`new DateTime(2019, 6, 11);`
String to Date	Input: `2020-06-11` Output: `Thu Jun 11 2020 00:00:00 GMT+0800`
Current Date Time (Local)	`new Date()`	`DateTime.Now;`
Current Date Time (Local)	Output: `Thu Jun 11 2020 00:00:00 GMT+0800`
Current Date Time (UTC)	`new Date(new Date().toUTCString())`	`DateTime.UtcNow;`
Current Date Time (UTC)	Output: `2020-06-11`
