How to pass a JSON date value via ASP.NET MVC using JSON.NET?

Question

Possible Duplicate: Format a Microsoft JSON date? The ASP.NET function `Json()` formats and returns a date as ``` {"d":"\/Date(1240718400000)\/"} ``` which has to be dealt with on the client side which is problematic. What are your suggestions for approaches to sending date values back and forth?

Accepted Answer

This was found in another post on Stack Overflow:

```
var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6))); 
```

The substr function takes out the "/Date(" part, and the parseInt function gets the integer and ignores the ")/" at the end. The resulting number is passed into the Date constructor.
