Convert kendodatepicker format to .Net DateTime

Question

The Json value of kendodatepicker that is received at .net csharp code is

"\\"2013-11-18T03:38:21.843Z\\""

What is the best and universal way to parse/convert this format to c# DateTime ?

Answer 1

If you want to have it convert it to localtime, use:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("2013-11-18T03:38:21.843Z")

To keep it as UTC, drop the Z off of the end:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("2013-11-18T03:38:21.843")

Don't forget to dump all of those quotes and escape quotes if they really are present in the string (and not just there because of debugger output).
