Question

In my ASP .NET project we don’t use any server controlls and codebehind files and work only with JavaScript, Asynch calls (send/recieve events to server with XMLHttpRequest) and SQL procedures.

So, i have a date in JavaScript, before i send it to ASP .NET like this: “Fri Aug 5 00:00:00 UTC+0400 2011” and i need to convert this on server or in JavaScript (before i send it) in format: “2011-08-05T00:00:00+04:00”.

How is it better could be done?

Thx.

Solution: use JSON.stringify.

Answer 1

I use this straightforward method:

<script type="text/javascript">

// Covert js-date to ISO8601-string.
function DateToISO8601(dt) {

    if (dt == null) return null;

    var mnth = dt.getUTCMonth() + 1;
    if (mnth < 10) mnth = "0" + mnth;
    var day = dt.getUTCDate();
    if (day < 10) day = "0" + day;
    var yr = dt.getUTCFullYear();
    var hrs = dt.getUTCHours();
    if (hrs < 10) hrs = "0" + hrs;
    var min = dt.getUTCMinutes();
    if (min < 10) min = "0" + min;
    var secs = dt.getUTCSeconds();
    if (secs < 10) secs = "0" + secs;

    return yr + "-" + mnth + "-" + day + "T" + hrs + ":" + min + ":" + secs + "Z";
}

</script>
