Issue with Datetime format when passing as json request in custom webservices

16:41 Aug 13, 2024

Getting dateformat error during deserialization when calling a custom web service with the following JSON request:

{
"ResultDate": "\"2000-01-01T00:00:00.000\""
}
The error message states:

The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message: There was an error while trying to deserialize parameter http://tempuri.org/:entity... "DateTime content '"2000-01-01T00:00:00.000"' does not start with '/Date(' and end with ')/' as required for JSON.' Please see InnerException for more details. See server logs for more details. The exception stack trace is: ...

Is there any way to pass a date in the "\"2000-01-01T00:00:00.000\"" format instead of using /Date(1511448000000)/?

Also, you can write a DateTime to Unix timestamp converter and then extract the value:

public static DateTime UnixTimeStampToDateTime( double unixTimeStamp )
{
    DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
    dateTime = dateTime.AddSeconds( unixTimeStamp ).ToLocalTime();
    return dateTime;
}

Best regards,

Anhelina!
