How do you pass a date time (i need it to the second) to c# using jquery and mvc3. This is what I have
var date = new Date();
$.ajax(
{
type: "POST",
url: "/Group/Refresh",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: "{ 'MyDate': " + date.toUTCString() + " }",
success: function (result) {
//do something
},
error: function (req, status, error) {
//error
}
});
I can't figure out what format the date should be in, for C# to understand it.
Try to use toISOString(). It returns string in ISO8601 format.
GET method
javascript
$.get('/example/doGet?date=' + new Date().toISOString(), function (result) {
console.log(result);
});
c#
[HttpGet]
public JsonResult DoGet(DateTime date)
{
return Json(date.ToString(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
POST method
javascript
$.post('/example/do', { date: date.toISOString() }, function (result) {
console.log(result);
});
c#
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult Do(DateTime date)
{
return Json(date.ToString());
}
