I have javascript date object which gives me a date string in this format, "Wed Dec 16 00:00:00 UTC-0400 2009".
I pass this via Ajax to the server (ASP.NET c#)
How can I convert, "Wed Dec 16 00:00:00 UTC-0400 2009" to a C# DateTime object. DateTime.Parse fails.

Use the DateTime. ParseExact() in codebehind to convert this string to DateTime as follows, DateTime. ParseExact(YourString, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.
const d = new Date("2015/03/25"); The behavior of "DD-MM-YYYY" is also undefined. Some browsers will try to guess the format. Some will return NaN.
It is used to work with dates and times. The Date object is created by using new keyword, i.e. new Date(). The Date object can be used date and time in terms of millisecond precision within 100 million days before or after 1/1/1970.
"The expression new Date() returns the current time in internal format, as an object containing the number of milliseconds elapsed since the start of 1970 in UTC.
You can use DateTime.ParseExact which allows you to specify a format string to be used for parsing:
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("Wed Dec 16 00:00:00 UTC-0400 2009", "ddd MMM d HH:mm:ss UTCzzzzz yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); The most reliable way would be to use milliseconds since the epoch. You can easily get this in JavaScript by calling Date.getTime(). Then, in C# you can convert it to a DateTime like this:
long msSinceEpoch = 1260402952906; // Value from Date.getTime() in JavaScript return new DateTime(1970, 1, 1).AddTicks(msSinceEpoch * 10000); You have to multiply by 10,000 to convert from milliseconds to "ticks", which are 100 nanoseconds.
