jquery - Convert Json date to "Date" in javascript

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2013 with C#.

I am calling one ActionResult method that returns the list of data from Ajax.

The problem here is I am getting date as "/Date(1460008501597)/".

I don't know how to convert it to display on form using javascript.

Please someone help me it's hard for me to solve.

Answer 1

In pure javascript, you can do this:

var date = new Date(Number("/Date(1460008501597)/".replace(/D/g, '')));

Explanation:

new Date(
    Number(
        "/Date(1460008501597)/".replace(/D/g, '') // Removes all non digit characters
    ) // Cast it to numeric
) // Creates a new Date object with the resultant number

Now, for more accurate solution for your problem, like display the date w/o javascript(which I think would be better choice), you can improve your question with more detail/information/code.
