I have a third party web service that returns this xml
<book>
<release_date>0000-00-00</release_date>
</book>
I am trying to deserialize it into this class
public class Book
{
[XmlElement("release_date")]
public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
}
But because 0000-00-00 isn't a valid DateTime, I get a FormatException. What's the best way to handle this?
