DateTime Issues

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with the piece of code?  I am trying to pull assets that have been updated since yesterday...
 

DateTime endTime = sfdc.getServerTimestamp().timestamp;

DateTime startTime = endTime.Subtract(new System.TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0, 0));

sforce.QueryResult qr = sfdc.query("Select Id from Asset Where SystemModstamp > " + startTime);

The error is:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException was unhandled
  Message="MALFORMED_QUERY: \nAsset Where SystemModstamp > 11/27/2006 8:59:45 PM\n                            

   ^\nERROR at Row:1:Column:47\nunexpected char: '/'"

The default toString on dateTime does not use the ISO 8601 format required by SOQL. try XmlConvert.ToString(startDate) instead, you may also have to sort out some TZ corrections.

I have used the following.

Code:
"where SystemModstamp > " + myDate.ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ")

 This way, we're comparing apples to apples.

I believe you can also use:

System.Xml.XmlConvert.ToString(new DateTime(), System.Xml.XmlDateTimeSerializationMode.Utc)
