How to handle json DateTime returned from WCF Data Services (OData)

Question

I believe I am missing something obvious here. When I request a JSON response from an OData service I get a different result for the DateTime properties than I do when I req

Answer 1

If this may help, I was facing the same problem and I ended to implement something like this, not so elegant but it works.

String.prototype.DateWCF = function(dateformat) {
    return new Date(parseInt(this.match(/\/Date\(([0-9]+)(?:.*)\)\//)[1])).format(dateformat);
};

then on $.ajax success:

        success: function(data) {
            $.each(data, function() {
                var hello = this.DateTimeProperty.DateWCF('dd-MM-yyyy'));
            });
        }

I hope this may be helpful.
