ASP.NET MVC Controller.Json DateTime Serialization vs NewtonSoft Json DateTime Serialization

Question

When I return object that contains DateTime property using

return Json(value);

on client I receive

\"/Date(1336618438854)/         


        

Answer 1

It returns Server Date Format. You need to define your own function.

function jsonDateFormat(jsonDate) {

// Changed data format;
return (new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)))).format("mm-dd-yyyy / h:MM tt");

};
