How to Pass Date from jquery to C# using Page Method

Question

I am passing Date having format('dd/mm/yyyy') from jquery to C# using Page Method . When i pass date 31/07/2014 to PageMethod , it gives me error 31/07/2014 is not a valid value for DateTime. Here is my Code..

 var dto = { 
            'StudentList': StudentList, 
            'StudentFeeList': StudentFeeDetail, 
            'StartingDate': $('#txtStartingDate').val(), 
            'ClosingDate': $('#txtEndingDate').val() 
          };

this DTO is passed to PageMethod . I am saving data at this time.

While retrieving Date from DataBase i have converted it like this.

convertDate = function (jsonDate) {
   var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));
   return date.format("dd/mm/yyyy");
},

Any Help.. Thanks.

Answer 1

This is because when converting its taking it as mm/dd/yyyy as per your system date time, whenever you post/convert use Universal format ie YYYY-MM-DD

Using universal format is universally accepted format and will not give any issues when converting IT or TO to any format needed.
