Json Data format issue /Date() in Asp.net MVC

I struggled bit with getting over to this Json date format issue. I got the lead with Hanselman . Scott tried his best to point to right direction but all he was intended towards web api 2. I was having a issue with asp.net mvc underlying Json.net.


After working on this for an hour I started getting lot of solution via stackoverflow and many other blog post.


We can handle this date issue at client side but I personally want to handle everything at server side.


I liked Bipin Joshi Solution, which is kind of straight forward or straight cut solution.
