[Solved] Ajax Date Format

[Gabe]

I am trying to apply a format to a date so if the Date == DateTime.Min basically I don't want to show anything, just blank or 'nbsp;'.
This worked with my client side databinding but now that I have added AJAX  binding it doesn't seem to work with it. It ends up showing NaN/NaN/NaN

Here is my column:

columns.Bound(o => o.MyDate).Title("My Date").Width("15%").ClientTemplate("<#= formatDateTime(MyDate) #>");

And the function:

function formatDateTime(value) {
 
    var date = (Object.prototype.toString.call(value) === '[object Date]') ? new Date(value) : new Date(parseInt(value.substr(6))); // json type
    
    var curr_date = date.getDate();
 
    if (curr_date < 10)
        curr_date = '0' + curr_date;
 
    var curr_month = date.getMonth();
    curr_month++;
 
    if (curr_month < 10)
        curr_month = '0' + curr_month;
 
    var curr_year = date.getFullYear();
 
    var datestring = curr_month + "/" + curr_date + "/" + curr_year;
 
    if (curr_year <= 1)
        datestring = '&nbsp';
 
    return datestring;
}

Hello Gabe,

Have you tried debugging this code? What happens inside the method?

It was a mistake on my part, I was  trying to create a new Date obj from an object that was already of type Date.
I change the first if condition and it worked.

var date = (Object.prototype.toString.call(value) === '[object Date]') ? value : new Date(parseInt(value.substr(6))); // json type

Thanks!
