ASP.NET MVC JsonResult Date Format

Question

I have a controller action that effectively simply returns a JsonResult of my model. So, in my method I have something like the following:

return new JsonRes

Here's some JavaScript code I wrote which sets an value from a date passed from ASP.NET MVC.

var setDate = function(id, d) {
  if (d !== undefined && d !== null) {
    var date = new Date(parseInt(d.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/", ""), 10));
    var day = ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2);
    var month = ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
    var parsedDate = date.getFullYear() + "-" + (month) + "-" + (day);
    $(id).val(parsedDate);
  }
};

You call this function like so:

setDate('#productCommissionStartDate', data.commissionStartDate);

Where commissionStartDate is the JSON date passed by MVC.
