Json到DateTime-更改格式

Question

I send from JS (with JSON) to server (C#) a string date in format "dd/mm/yyyy" - for example "23/10/2014", but C# DateTime gets null. If I send "10/23/2014" it works. I use MVC4.

How can I change that format that DateTime gets to I'll be able to send "23/10/2014"?

Answer 1

Not a direct answer to your question but I think you're safer to send the date as: yyyy/mm/dd

Then you don't need to worry about internationalisation. MVC will parse this correctly.

EDIT

Matt made a good comment below. The format of the date should be: yyyy-mm-dd which is in agreement with the ISO 8601 standard.

Answer 2

you can specify the date format in the serialization settings

var jsonString = @"{'ID':'1','Date':'23/10/2014'}";

JsonSerializerSettings jSettings = new Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializerSettings()
{
    DateFormatString = "dd/MM/yyyy"
};

var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TheType>(jsonString, jSettings);
