[CLOSED] MVC Json and Date field type

[mthird]

First off, I'm digging coolite and the vast amount of effort it saves over raw ExtJS.

I am having a small issue with Json serialized dates from the MVC framework. ExtJS does not natively support the "\/Date(1067872817000-0500)\/" format MS uses, but I found a forum post that describes a workaround. Do you think it would be possible to include this workaround in a future build of the framework? For now, I'm going to hack it in locally.

Thanks,

Just in case anyone runs into the same problem, here is the solution.

Add the following to the head of your page or master page:

    <ext:ScriptContainer runat="server" />
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/Content/FixDate.js"></script>

This will ensure the function override won't be replaced.

Download the attached file and save as FixDate.js then Enjoy!

Hi mthird,

Thanks! for posting the date parsing fix. This will certainly come in handy. I'll also certainly look into including the fix into coolite-core.js.

Over this weekend I going to try and build a full app using the MVC-Beta bits.

Please let us know if you run into any other MVC+Coolite issues.
