How to parse date time from json?

Question

I have a Action Method like this

public ActionResult TodayJson()
        {
            DateTime today = DateTime.Today;
            return Json(today,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }

that returns me the the following value

"\/Date(1369332000000)\/"

How can I parse it in actual date time by the jquery or java script. Format should be like this dd-mm-yyyy

Use this in your javascript (while jsonDate = "\/Date(1369332000000)\/"):

var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));
var formattedDate = date.format("dd-MM-yyyy");

Note that solution wouldn't be time zone safe. – Mike Christensen May 23 '13 at 21:03
@MikeChristensen - http://stackoverflow.com/a/2316066/1203115 - look at the second comment (+35), it will work if timezone offset is specified. – Adam Tal May 23 '13 at 21:06
now it gives "24-00-2013". it's not the actual value – Atish Kumar Dipongkor May 23 '13 at 21:06
Yes, however your date format is `"dd-mm-yyyy"`. – Mike Christensen May 23 '13 at 21:07

@AtishDipongkor - You probably want `dd-MM-yyyy`, lower case `mm` is minute, not month. – Mike Christensen May 23 '13 at 21:08
Sorry had a mistake in the date.format string. – Adam Tal May 23 '13 at 21:08
