Problem While returning a JSON string from controller action method to the view, the date and time field gets converted into numeric digit like this.
"{\"AutoId\":16,\"FirstName\":\"Sheo\",\"LastName\":\"Narayan\",\"Age\":50,\"Active\":true,\"BirthDate\":\"\\/Date(1450015663151)\\/\"}" Easiest Solution The easiest solution of this problem is to use NewtonSoft to serialize to json string instead of using inbuilt ASP.NET MVC
// return Json(model, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); // do not use this
return Json(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(model), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); // use this
Using NewtonSoft JsonConvert would change the date to readable format like below
"{\"AutoId\":16,\"FirstName\":\"Sheo\",\"LastName\":\"Narayan\",\"Age\":50,\"Active\":true,\"BirthDate\":\"2015-12-13T20:17:09.3750692+05:30\"}" Will write a complete article soon on this on how to change even the date format and how to change the json property names to camelCase.
Thanks
