How do I pass a datetime value as a URI parameter in asp.net mvc?

Question

I need to have an action parameter that has a datetime value? Is there a standard way to do this? I need to have something like:

mysite/Controller/Action/2         


        

Answer 1

Use the ticks value. It's quite simple to rebuild into a DateTime structure

 Int64 nTicks = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
 ....
 DateTime dtTime = new DateTime(nTicks);
