The code below works fine on local machine. On the other side, on server, it shifts date 1 day left.

JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
serializer.Converters.Add(new JavaScriptDateTimeConverter());

The value returning from database is: 2010-09-16 00:00:00.000

JsonSerializer gives 2010-09-16 on local and gives 2010-09-15 on server..

any ideas?

To clarify the problem i made a simple test;

string str = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Convert.ToDateTime("2010-09-16 00:00:00.000"), new JavaScriptDateTimeConverter());
Response.Write(str);

this code produce different results on different machines.. Why?

new Date(1284584400000) and new Date(1284588000000) or

Wed Sep 15 2010 23:00:00 and Thu Sep 16 2010 00:00:00

It's a timezone issue. By default JavaScriptDateTimeConverter uses UTC dates. You need to create a SerializerSettings object, and set 

settings.DateTimeZoneHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.DateTimeZoneHandling.Local;

This could be a timezone issue. Is your server in a different time zone? Is it timezone-adjusting the dates and times?
