Passing datetime from javascript to C # (Controller)

Question

How do you pass the date time (I need this to the second) in C # using jquery and mvc3. This is what I have

var date = new Date(); $.ajax( { type: "POST", url: "/Group/Refresh", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", data: "{ 'MyDate': " + date.toUTCString() + " }", success: function (result) { //do something }, error: function (req, status, error) { //error } }); 

I can’t understand what format the date should be in order for C # to understand it.

Answer 1

The following format should work:

 $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "@Url.Action("refresh", "group")", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", data: JSON.stringify({ myDate: '2011-04-02 17:15:45' }), success: function (result) { //do something }, error: function (req, status, error) { //error } }); 

Answer 2

Try using toISOString (). It returns a string in ISO8601 format.

GET Method

Javascript

 $.get('/example/doGet?date=' + new Date().toISOString(), function (result) { console.log(result); }); 

FROM#

 [HttpGet] public JsonResult DoGet(DateTime date) { return Json(date.ToString(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); } 

Post method

Javascript

 $.post('/example/do', { date: date.toISOString() }, function (result) { console.log(result); }); 

FROM#

 [HttpPost] public JsonResult Do(DateTime date) { return Json(date.ToString()); } 

Answer 3

try it

 var date = new Date(); $.ajax( { type: "POST", url: "/Group/Refresh", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", data: "{ 'MyDate': " + date.getTimezoneOffset() + " }", success: function (result) { //do something }, error: function (req, status, error) { //error } }); 

In c #

 DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().AddMinutes(double.Parse(MyDate)).ToString(); 

Answer 4

I found that I need to wrap a datetime string as follows:

 "startdate": "\/Date(" + date() + ")\/" 

It took me an hour to figure out how to enable the WCF service in order to return an error message stating that XD

Answer 5

There is a toJSON() method in javascript that returns a string representation of a Date object. toJSON () is IE8 +, and toISOString () is IE9 +. Both results are in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ .

 var date = new Date(); $.ajax( { type: "POST", url: "/Group/Refresh", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", data: "{ 'MyDate': " + date.toJSON() + " }", success: function (result) { //do something }, error: function (req, status, error) { //error } });

Convert json date to this format "mm / dd / yyyy HH: MM: ss"
dateFormat - jasondate format.js file found in blog.stevenlevithan.com

 var _meetStartTime = dateFormat(now, "mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:ss"); 

Answer 7

 var Ihours = Math.floor(TotMin / 60); 

var Iminutes = TotMin% 60; var TotalTime = Ihours + ":" + Iminutes + ': 00';

  $.ajax({ url: ../.., cache: false, type: "POST", data: JSON.stringify({objRoot: TotalTime}) , dataType: 'json', contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", success: function (response) { }, error: function (er) { console.log(er); } });
