My client is posting an object to .net rest service. In the object one property is a datetime. Client is posting datetime values as

2012-11-16T17:30:53.000Z

because of that i am getting a 400 bad request. when i capture the json object and change the datetime format to

/Date(928164000000-0400)/

I am getting 200 ok.

I don't want to fix the client because my options are limited. Is there any standard way in .net rest service to receive the datetime as string as represented above. Most of the example on web are with HTTP GET so client formats it later once it receives the datetime on client side.

  • Not sure how to use it here? I am not using web api – Praneeth Nov 27 '12 at 14:31
  • Just to clarify, what are you using, just so I can be sure? – Gavin Nov 27 '12 at 14:42

    Looking around, it is a common problem. Many suggest handling it as a string and then parsing the format on the service. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13134978/wcf-rest-json-with-iso-date-format - Worth a go? – Gavin Nov 27 '12 at 14:49
  • unfortunately it is using its own servicehostfactory. we have our own custom WebServiceHostFactory. I need a way to JsonSerilizer into this. – Praneeth Nov 27 '12 at 16:07
