title: ASP.NET MVC JsonResult Date Format
body: <p>I have a controller action that effectively simply returns a JsonResult of my model. So, in my method I have something like the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>return new JsonResult(myModel);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works well, except for one problem. There is a date property in the model and this appears to be returned in the Json result like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"\/Date(1239018869048)\/"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How should I be dealing with dates so they are returned in the format I require? Or how do I handle this format above in script?</p>
