ASP.NET MVC JsonResult Date Format

Question

I have a controller action that effectively simply returns a JsonResult of my model. So, in my method I have something like the following:

return new JsonRes         


        

Answer 1

Using jQuery to auto-convert dates with $.parseJSON

Note: this answer provides a jQuery extension that adds automatic ISO and .net date format support.

Since you're using Asp.net MVC I suspect you're using jQuery on the client side. I suggest you read this blog post that has code how to use $.parseJSON to automatically convert dates for you.

Code supports Asp.net formatted dates like the ones you mentioned as well as ISO formatted dates. All dates will be automatically formatted for you by using $.parseJSON().
