I’m sure I’m doing something wrong here but I have this C# code (using Elements RTL on Island macOS console app):
```auto
namespace TestApp
{
static class Program
{
public static Int32 Main(string[] args)
{
string timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString();
Console.WriteLine("Timestamp: " + timestamp);
return 0;
}
}
}
```
The console outputs: `Timestamp: `
It would seem that the `ToString()` method on the `DateTime `object returned by `UtcNow `is empty.

Partially fixed, though it will always use the default format and timezone, as fully implementing the overloads needs more work than _I_ can do today.

if you don’t want to wait for a new build, you can grab the code at [https://github.com/remobjects/rtl2](https://github.com/remobjects/rtl2) and build it yourself.
