Passing Javascript Date Object To C# Webbrowser Control Using Window.external

I am able to call C# methods of WebBrowser.ObjectForScripting with javascript window.external from WebBrowser WinForms control and pass string, int, bool etc. However I don't know

Solution 1:

You can take advantage of the fact that dates in Javascript are expressed as the number of milliseconds elapsed since the UNIX epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). Use the valueOf() method to obtain that value from a Date object :

var millisecondsSinceEpoch = yourDate.valueOf();

If you can marshal that value to C# as a double, you can create the appropriate DateTime object using its constructor and the AddMilliseconds() method:

DateTimeyourDateTime=newDateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc)
    .AddMilliseconds(millisecondsSinceEpoch);

Solution 2:

I finally got it working. I don't know why, but I am unable to use it with dynamic. Here is the solution:

[ComVisible(true)]
publicclassFoo
{
    publicvoidBar(object o)
    {
        var dateTime = (DateTime)o.GetType().InvokeMember("getVarDate", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, null);
        Console.WriteLine(dateTime);
    }
}

Solution 3:

I found better solution for my project.

in javascript:

var date = newDate();
myComObject.DoSomething(date.getVarDate());

in C#

[ComVisible(true)]
publicclassFoo
{
    publicvoidBar(DateTime dateTime){
        Console.WriteLine(dateTime);
    }
}
