public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }

{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Employee emp = new Employee();
emp.FirstName = "Senthil";
emp.LastName = "Balu";
emp.JoinedDate = DateTime.Now;
var jsonString = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(emp);
Console.WriteLine(jsonString);
