DARPA Wants All C Converted To Rust
After more than two decades of grappling with memory safety issues in C and C++, the software engineering community has reached a consensus. It’s not enough to rely on bug-finding tools. The preferred approach is to use “safe” programming languages that can reject unsafe programs at compile time, thereby preventing the emergence of memory safety issues.
Starting with the 2021.2 releases of our .NET productivity tools, including ReSharper and Rider (on Windows), we will require .NET Framework 4.7.2 or newer installed on your machine. Earlier versions of our .NET tools will continue to work on .NET Framework 4.6.1.
DateTimeOffsetToBinaryConverter - DateTimeOffset to binary-encoded 64-bit value (stores it as a long, slight reduction in precision)
DateTimeOffsetToBytesConverter - DateTimeOffset to byte array (stores it as a 12 byte array, 8 bytes for time, 4 bytes for offset. Full precision.)
DateTimeOffsetToStringConverter - DateTimeOffset to string (ISO 8601 string including timezone)

// To work around this, when the Sqlite database provider is used, all model properties of type DateTimeOffset

// This only supports millisecond precision, but should be sufficient for most use cases.
