title: Parsing a JSON date into a C# DateTime
body: <p>i have an API that get information from targetProcess and put that information in sql tables.</p>
  
  <p>the issue comes when a targetProcess field is date because i recieved it as json date <code>"/Date(1409202000000-0500 )/"</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can i convert this json date to Datetime in c#?</p>
  
  <p>i have been trying add extra quotes like the asnwer in this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39669511/cant-parse-json-data-to-net-datetime">StackOverflow Post</a> but it doesnt work.</p>
  
  <p>i tried replace the the word Date for only use <code>1409202000000-0500</code> in </p>
  
  <pre><code>DateTime dotNetDate = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1);
  dotNetDate = dotNetDate.AddMilliseconds(Convert.ToInt64(1409202000000-0500) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i use too JSON.NET as bellow</p>
  
  <pre><code>string sa = "/Date(1409202000000-0500 )/"
  DateTime dt = new DateTime();
  dt = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject&lt;DateTime&gt;(sa);
  </code></pre>
