Parse string as DateTime in Javascript from JSON

Question

I want send a datetime in JSON with string fromat from asp.net web service and I want javascript parse it like datetime and not like string.

So I ask is there a special format that I must use it to convert datetime to string and parse it in javascript as datetime?

In fact , I don't want touch javascript. I want javascript read the string and considerate it as DateTime.

Make sure your date strings conform rfc2822 and use javascript Date.parse method.

Alternatively, send your dates over as integer milliseconds and use Date constructors on the javascript side.

I used DateJS for a few projects using ASP.NET. The format will probably depend on your locale. I would looks at the data.js examples to make it work the way it would fit your specification and locale.

This is a piece of code I use to create a date from a .net JSON serialized DateTime object.

function formatJSONDate(jsonDate) {
    var d = new Date((jsonDate.slice(6, -2)*1));

    var day = d.getDate() * 1;
    var month = (d.getMonth() * 1) +1;

    var s = (day < 10 ? "0" : "") + day + "-" + (month < 10 ? "0" : "") + month + "-" + d.getFullYear();

    return s;
}
