Handling MongoDB's ISODate() when attempting to parse a serialized JSON string

Question

I\'m using MongoDB via the official C# driver with an ASP.NET MVC web site.

I have the following C# model:

public class Contact
{
    public ObjectId Id          


        

Answer 1

You SHOULD use JsonConvert to properly convert the Date to Json. the accepted answer produces a date object like: { $date: 190012312211 } as @Rick Strahl mentioned. This should work:

object val = BsonTypeMapper.MapToDotNetValue(bsonDocument);
string jsonString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(val);
