Question

I’m using SignalR in my server side code c# .net4.
On client I’m using javascript.

when I Invoke client method from server ,for example

    Caller.ShowDate(DateTime.Now);

client side javascript gets value of “2012-11-13T19:02:39.3386544+02:00” as string.

How can I use It as Date in javascript ?

Answer 1

Keep in mind that client times can be VASTLY different than server times due to time zones/clients modifying clocks etc. That being said:

C#:

Caller.ShowDate(DateTime.UtcNow);

JavaScript:

myHub.client.ShowDate = function(d) {
    var serverTime = new Date(d); // The Server Time in JavaScript
}
