The "datetime cannot be serialized from a non string, non numeric,
or non date type" error message typically occurs when you are trying to serialize an object to a JSON string and the object includes a DateTime property that cannot be serialized.

To fix this error, you can either modify the object so that it can be serialized, or you can use a custom serialization method to serialize the object.

One way to modify the object so that it can be serialized is to convert the DateTime property to a string before serializing the object.
You can do this using the ToString method of the DateTime class. For example:

Copy code
public class MyObject
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }

    public MyObject(string name, DateTime date)
    {
        Name = name;
        Date = date;
    }
}

// ...

MyObject obj = new MyObject("John", DateTime.Now);

// Convert the DateTime property to a string before serializing the object
obj.Date = obj.Date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj);
Alternatively, you can use a custom serialization method to serialize the object.
To do this, you can create a class that implements the ISerializable interface and override the GetObjectData method.
You can then use this class to serialize the object and include the DateTime property in the serialized data. Here is an example:

Copy code
public class MyObject : ISerializable
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }

    public MyObject(string name, DateTime date)
    {
        Name = name;
        Date = date;
    }

    public void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
    {
        info.AddValue("Name", Name);
        info.AddValue("Date", Date);
    }
}

// ...

MyObject obj = new MyObject("John", DateTime.Now);

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj);
Using either of these approaches should allow you to serialize the object and include the DateTime property in the serialized data.
