Hi,

Recently updated our project to use latest ServiceStack release which caused an issue with current 1.2.17 version from NuGet as latest ServiceStack.Text does not have .net3.5-clientprofile.

I've forked and added support for it here: https://github.com/nvisage-gf/NodaTime.Serialization.ServiceStackText/tree/feature/ServiceStack_v4.0.42

Updated to .NET 4.0 profile and latest ServiceStack.Text + NodaTime assemblies.

NuGet (beta) package on our MyGet feed here: http://www.symbolsource.org/MyGet/Metadata/nvisage-psm/Project/NodaTime.Serialization.ServiceStackText

I can submit pull request if required; though you may want to review changes before.

Regards,

Gavin

Hello!

I'm just trying to get a feel for this library. I need some guidance on how to get the marked code below to not throw exception when deserializing null data to a null LocalDate. what might be the easiest workaround?? thank you for helping!

static void NodaTimeModelCsvTest()
{
//one-time setup to register NodaTime serializers with ServiceStack
DateTimeZoneProviders.Tzdb
.CreateDefaultSerializersForNodaTime()
.ConfigureSerializersForNodaTime();

        var nodatimeModels = new List<NodaTimeModel>();

        var data = new List<NodaTimeModel>()
        {
            new NodaTimeModel { CreatedAt = LocalDate.FromDateTime(DateTime.Now), CreatedBy = "one"},
            new NodaTimeModel { CreatedAt = LocalDate.FromDateTime(DateTime.Now), CreatedBy = "two"},
            new NodaTimeModel { CreatedAt = null, CreatedBy = "evan"}
        };
        var str = CsvSerializer.SerializeToCsv<NodaTimeModel>(data);
        nodatimeModels = str.FromCsv<List<NodaTimeModel>>();  //****this throws cannot be null exception; would like it to be ok to deserialize into a null LocalDate
    }
}

public class NodaTimeModel
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public LocalDate? CreatedAt { get; set; }
    public string CreatedBy { get; set; }
}

I am attempting to use deserialise noda* objects with ServiceStack.Text and your library (from nuget), however it is not deserialising correctly.

I am setting it up WebApi like this:

        public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            JsConfig.DateHandler = JsonDateHandler.ISO8601; 
            DateTimeZoneProviders.Tzdb
                                 .CreateDefaultSerializersForNodaTime()
                                 .ConfigureSerializersForNodaTime();

            config.Formatters.RemoveAt(0);
            config.Formatters.Insert(0, new ServiceStackTextFormatter());

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional });
        }

This serialises fine, but fails to deserialise any noda* objects. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
