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

I found this to be the easiest way to change it server side.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Converters;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization;

namespace Website
{
    /// 

    /// This is like MVC5's JsonResult but it uses CamelCase and date formatting.
    /// 
    public class MyJsonResult : ContentResult
    {
        private static readonly JsonSerializerSettings Settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
        {
            ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver(),
            Converters = new List { new StringEnumConverter() }
        };

        public FindersJsonResult(object obj)
        {
            this.Content = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj, Settings);
            this.ContentType = "application/json";
        }
    }
}
