how to get Json.net serialize DateTime similar to JavaScriptSerializer?

Question

My code base had been using JavaScriptSerializer for long time, now I am planning to migrate to Json.Net. I saw that DateTime Serializing on both work differently.

Console.WriteLine(new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow));

Output:"\/Date(1403629024695)\/"

Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow));

Output: "2014-06-24T16:57:04.6954145+00:00"

Is there a way to get Json.net to serialize similar to JavaScriptSerializer?

You can use DateFormatHandling.MicrosoftDateFormat

Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow, 
                                              new JsonSerializerSettings() { DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.MicrosoftDateFormat }));

Format is different. returns: /Date(1667894400000-0800)/ instead of /Date(1403629024695)/
