How to have a nullable DateTime property in gRPC .Net?

Question

I'm using gRPC to write a method and give it to another microservice but I do not know how to generate a nullable DateTime property in protobuf and fill it with a data that I get from AppService! The final property that I need is like below:

public class MyClass{
   public DateTime? MyDateTime {get;set;}
}

And also there is no variable type as a DateTime in protobuf.

I'm expecting to set a nullable DateTime property in my proto file and after that fill it with a DataTime that I get from another service in gRPCService.

I found an answer by using:

import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";

In proto file and also in the current file the message property should be:

message MyTestDto{
    google.protobuf.Timestamp MyTimestamp = 1;
}

After doing all of these steps in the GrpcService I used this C# code to convert timestamp to DateTime:

Timestamp.FromDateTimeOffset(x.CvCardFa.MyTimestamp.Value.ToLocalTime())
