Answer 1

with Json.NET :

string date = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(DateTime.Now);    

Answer 2

try regex:

var jsonDate = @"/Date(1379048144000)/"; 
var regex = /-?\d+/; 
var jsonDate = re.exec(jsonDate); 
var dateOriginal = new Date(parseInt(m[0]));

Answer 3

U can always solve your problem when sending a date in a JSON object to JS by converting the date as follows:

var myJSDate = (new Date(parseInt(obj.MyDate.substr(6)))).toJSON();

Where obj.Date contains the date you wanna format.

Then u'll get something like this: "2013-10-25T18:04:17.289Z"

U can always check it in Chrome console by writing:

(new Date()).toJSON();

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

You could change your WS to return a long with the value of the DateTime. The value to return is the number of milliseconds since the Unix Epoch (01/01/1970). This could be done with an extension method on DateTime something like:

public static class DateTimeExtensions
{
    ...
    private static readonly DateTime UnixEpoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1);

    public static long ToUnixTime(this DateTime dateTime)
    {
        return (dateTime - UnixEpoch).Ticks / TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond;
    }
    ...
}

And your web service method might look something like:

public long GetMyDate(...)
{
    DateTime dateTime = ...;
    return dateTime.ToUnixTime();
}

Answer 5

Simply write like this to convert your date string in JSON format.

date = "{" + date + "}";

Answer 6

There are two solutions:

1. client side:

function ToJavaScriptDate(value) {
  var pattern = /Date\(([^)]+)\)/;
  var results = pattern.exec(value);
  var dt = new Date(parseFloat(results[1]));
  return (dt.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + dt.getDate() + "/" + dt.getFullYear();
}

It is possible to need alsou to convert into data object var date = new Date(xxx)

2. Server side:

   Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(your_object)
