format date in linq query result

Question

The following linq to entities query gives the result below:

public class UserCountResult
{
    public DateTime? date { get; set; } // **should this be strin         


        

Answer 1

Something like this should work:

date = new Date(parseInt(g.Key.substr(6)));

The substr will pull off the "/Date(" string, parseInt will pull just the integer and Date will give you a new date object.

EDIT:

Just found this SO question that supports this answer.
