ASP.NET MVC - Passing JSON DateTime to controller not mapping to controller parameters

Question

I am using a jQuery calendar to display events, which is designed to pull data from the server. On innit the calendar fires off a AJAX request to get an array of events objects

Answer 1

Try to use date.toISOString() to pass data to server. It returns string in ISO8601 format. Also this method can be used to format dates for using in uri.

$.post('/planner/GetPlannerEvents', { start: start.toISOString(), 
    end: end.toISOString() }, function (result) {
    callback(result); 
});

Why toISOString is better than toUTCString?
toUTCString converts to human readable string in the UTC time zone.
toISOString converts to universal ISO format which allows to resolve issue with regional settings and different formats.
