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 had a number of issues come up with JSON dates and decided to just get rid of the problem by addressing the date issue in the SQL. Change the date format to a string format

select flddate from tblName

select flddate, convert(varchar(12), flddate, 113) as fldDateStr from tblName

By using the fldDateStr the problem dissappeared and I could still use the date field for sorting or other purposes.
