DateTimeOffset modelbinding from form is always set to utc in net7

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

Hello,

I have the following model that is used as input of a controller method:

public class TestController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpPost]
    public DateTimeOffset Post([FromForm] InputModel model)
    {
        return model.StartDate;
    }
}

public class InputModel
{
    public DateTimeOffset StartDate { get; set; }
}

When I sent the string ‘2022-11-29 10:00’ in NET6, the local timezone offset (+1 in my case) is used for the DateTimeOffset. However, in NET7, the offset is always 0.

Expected Behavior

I expect the datetimeoffset is parsed with the local timezone offset, if none is provided in the input string.

Steps To Reproduce

https://github.com/yannicsmeets/datetimeoffset-demo

The main branch is net6. In the net7 branch, the target framework is set to net7.0

Exceptions (if any)

No response

.NET Version

I did some investigation and I believe the introduction of the TryParseModelBinder, evaluated earlier than the SimpleTypeModelBinder, caused the issue.

When binding using the TryParseModelBinder the DateTimeStyles is set to DateTimeStyles.AssumeUniversal | DateTimeStyles.AllowWhiteSpaces while the binding using the SimpleTypeModelBinder, call to DateTimeOffsetConverter, will set it to DateTimeStyles.None causing the behavior mentioned above.

Referring to the statement here, I found that as long as the TryParseModelBinderProvider is remove first and then added, it will be normal

like this

mvcBuilder.AddMvcOptions(options =>
  options.ModelBinderProviders.RemoveType<TryParseModelBinderProvider>();
  options.ModelBinderProviders.Add(new TryParseModelBinderProvider()
);
