Javascript Equivalent To .net's Datetime.parse
Solution 1:
Datejs seems pretty robust to me. Its parse function supports over 150 cultures:
Date.parse("February 20th 1973")
And in case you need to parse a date string that is not valid in the current culture you can use the parseExact function:
// The Date of 15-Oct-2004Date.parseExact("10/15/2004", ["M/d/yyyy", "MMMM d, yyyy"]);
Solution 2:
In all honesty, your best bet is to perform an AJAX hit, and ask your ASP.net web-server to parse the string and return a Javascript date.
Javascript libraries easily get confused with different locales, e.g.:
GET/ParseDate.ashx?dateStaring=06/01/344:53:05 غ.و&locale=ar-SA
Which gets really complicated because:
"6/1/34" = November 19, 2012
The .NET framework, with Windows behind it, has support for a lot of different locales.
Solution 3:
Instead of trying to find two Datetime implementations (one for JS and another for C#) that have similar validation and parsing, have you considered having the client 1)use its own library to validate the date and 2)parse and reformat the date to a C# friendly format?
This would allow you to use DateJS to get a very flexible front end for date inputs, make it easier to deal with the client side culture, and let your server side deal with a fixed format.
Solution 4:
Have you tried passing your string into the constructor?
Here's a sample from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
var birthday = newDate("December 17, 1995 03:24:00");
