I have an ASP.NET Web API endpoint where I can POST some data.
Let's say I will post the following:
var myObject = {
name: "Jhon Smith",
age: "34",
accountCreated: "CURRENT DATE TIME"
};
what is the equivalent of DateTime.Now in JavaScript so I can assign the current date and time to accountCreated?
How can I parse this date (javascript current date time) into a C# DateTime object (in ASP.NET)?
You can use new Date() is the equivalent of DateTime.Now
Just :
new Date().getTime();
The equivalent to DateTime.Now in JS would be new Date(). I wouldn't be relying on that sort of information from the client anyway as that isn't really the created date.
To ensure consistency with your dates it's best to leave that sort of stuff to the server where you can be sure that the DateTime used is in fact the true DateTime of when the record was created.
