Because there is nothing special about the use of the property, you can use the property just like any other local (default) DateTime object you'd instantiate, so, it's nothing special. This is different in the case of the field because it's not a local DateTime object, but a UTC DateTime, which needs to be expressed.
I thought it'd be some XML attribute in the mapping where I define the identifier of the field. Thanks for telling about property accessor.
