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

This should work just fine:

var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));

The substr function takes out the "/Date(" part, and the parseInt function gets the integer and ignores the ")/" at the end.

For ISO-8601 formatted JSON dates, just pass the string into the Date constructor:

var date = new Date(jsonDate); //no ugly parsing needed; full timezone support

This was already fixed and discussed that a look at this previous post
