c# - How can I format date using json.SerializerSettings.Converters to look like 1288323623006 -

i using following date filter in webapi application:

json.serializersettings.converters.add(     new isodatetimeconverter { datetimeformat = "dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm" }); 

i started use front end not understand dates. if remember correctly due way milliseconds formatted many digits.

what need date format this:

1288323623006 

can suggest how can using serializer. different default?

you don't want use isodatetimeconverter @ - possibly want use javascriptdatetimeconverter. convert new date(...) right value - believe include new date(...) part. if don't want that, you'll need write own converter.

it shouldn't hard write converter - although need decide how handle different kinds of datetime. example, if you're asked convert datetime kind of unspecified, want assume it's in utc, or in system local time zone, or else?

once you've got appropriate "instant" in time, need find number of milliseconds between , unix epoch (1st january 1970 00:00:00, utc) , convert number of milliseconds string.
