datetimepicker binding issues

Question

I'm trying to use the new dateTimePicker for Windows 8.1:

<DatePicker HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="401,245,0,0" Grid.Row="1"
 VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="352" Date="{Binding personSingle.personDOB,Mode=TwoWay}"/>

When ever I change the date I don't get the value that I chose when I look at value for personDOB. personDOB is of type DateTimeOffset

What do I need to do get the value that I choose?

Update:

    <DatePicker x:Name="dtPick" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="401,245,0,0" Grid.Row="1" 
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="352" DataContext="{Binding personSingle}"
 Date="{Binding personSingle.personDOB.Date,Mode=TwoWay}"/>

I found the answer from this link:

You need to write a converter to get this to work appropriately:

public class DateTimeToDateTimeOffsetConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        try
        {
            DateTime date = (DateTime)value;
            return new DateTimeOffset(date);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            return DateTimeOffset.MinValue;
        }
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        try
        {
            DateTimeOffset dto = (DateTimeOffset)value;
            return dto.DateTime;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            return DateTime.MinValue;
        }
    }
}
