Answer 1

You can use the Date Property , follow the documentation

  DateTimeOffset sourceTime = YourDatePicker.Date;
  BookingDate = sourceTime.DateTime;

To convert back to offset and bind to datetimepicker

   DateTime newBookingDate;
   newBookingDate = DateTime.SpecifyKind(BookingDate, DateTimeKind.Utc);
   DateTimeOffset bindTime = newBookingDate;
   YourDatePicker.Date = bindTime;
