Error when serializing DateTime using AVRO

I am using Avro serialization to send a custom object as a message to the broker. One of my properties is DateTime and I am having a serialization error “System.Int64 required to write against Long schema but found System.DateTime in field timestamp”

This is my message:

public class SomeEvent: ISpecificRecord {
  ....
public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; }
}

Schema defined as per Avro 1.8

{
   ""name"":""timestamp"",
    ""type"": 
         {
              ""type"" : ""long"", ""logicalType"" : ""timestamp-millis""
         }
}

Am I doing something wrong?

I have an open PR for this: https://github.com/confluentinc/avro/pull/14

We couldn’t adopt Avro without it.

sorry for the confusion - have updated the old packages on nuget.org marking them as depreciated.

note that you don’t need to reference the Apache.Avro package explicitly (as per the examples in the examples folder) - this is a dependency of Confluent.SchemaRegistry.Serdes.Avro and will be included automatically. Also note that Microsoft.Avro.Core isn’t relevant and not used by any Confluent libraries. Finally, you don’t need to reference Confluent.SchemaRegistry - it’s a dependency of Confluent.SchemaRegistry.Serdes.Avro.
