For the FhirDateTime, I can use ToDateTimeOffset().DateTime to convert FhirDateTime to .NET DateTime. But I don't see similar function for Date. Do I have to use .NET DateTime.Parse() function?

Hi @Yunwei Wang FHIR defines some specialized rules for date/time types, e.g. partial values, that don't map 1-1 to (the default semantics of) C# datatypes. .NET FHIR API support is mainly focused on ensuring proper roundtripping, so e.g. FHIR Date is mapped to string. Depending on your use case, you may have to perform some manual transformations.
