Javascript serialization of DateTime in asp.net is not giving a javascript date object?

Question

When I parse a DateTime to json in .Net it returns a string (i.e. \"\\/Date(1249335194272)\\/\"). How do I make it return a js Date object constructor not wrap

Answer 1

Slightly simpler string clean up with RegEx:

var myDate = "\\/Date(1508821200000)\/";    
var jsDate = new Date(parseInt(myDate.replace(/\D/g, '')));
