JsonConvert.DeserializeObject could not convert string to DateTime when using non-us date formats

Question

I have the following serialized json object:

\"{\\\"LineItems\\\":[{\\\"LineID\\\":1,\\\"QuoteID\\\":\\\"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\\\",\\\"Quantit         


        

Answer 1

Try specifying the DateTime format specifically using an IsoDateTimeConverter, and pass it into the JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<>() method.

...
var json = Request.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Params["EoiDraftModel"];

var format = "dd/MM/yyyy"; // your datetime format
var dateTimeConverter = new IsoDateTimeConverter { DateTimeFormat = format };

var ld = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<EoiDraftViewModel>(json, dateTimeConverter);
...
