C# Convert datetime to date javascript

Question

I sent a date time from controller using this variable IncidentReportedDt the value is : 2016-08-11 09:30:30.287 to .cshtml and i want to display it by javascript.

if i just manually print this variable IncidentReportedDt : The output is /Date(1470882630287)/

then i try some of the following tips :

var date3 = IncidentReportedDt.toDate();
var date4 = IncidentReportedDt.ToString();

it gives me this output :

TypeError: IncidentReportedDt.toDate is not a function
TypeError: IncidentReportedDt.toString is not a function

i tried another way using this :

var date = new Date(Date.parse(IncidentReportedDt));

and it's give me an output : Invalid Date

so i add this code :

var date = new Date(Date.parse(IncidentReportedDt));
var dte = date.getFullYear() + "/" + (date.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + (date.getUTCDate());

and it's give me an output : NaN/NaN/NaN

i want the output : 2016-08-11 09:30 . can you help me what's wrong with my code ?

Answer 1

I usually use the following function to convert this date format to JS format:

function parseDotNetDate(str) {
    var regexp = /\/Date\((\d*)\)\//;
    if (!regexp.test(str)) 
        throw new Error('Not a .NET DateTime object.');

    return new Date(+str.replace(regexp, '$1'));
}
