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

This example works

    JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();

    DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
    DateTime dt1 = dt;

    string jsonDateNow = serializer.Serialize(dt1);
