Currently, I am in the process of converting an older .cshtml view file into pure HTML + TypeScript with the help of Angular1. The focus here is not so much on Angular, but on finding equivalent functionality in TypeScript (or JavaScript) to replace some C# code within a Razor view.
The original code snippet looked like this:
ng-init="
vm.defaultStartDate='@SqlDateTime.MinValue.Value'; vm.defaultEndDate='@SqlDateTime.MaxValue.Value'"In the updated version, these values will no longer be set directly in the view. Instead, the Angular controller logic written in TypeScript can handle the initialization and usage of these values when needed. However, I am struggling to find the correct implementation in TypeScript/JavaScript.
According to MSDN, @SqlDateTime.MinValue.Value corresponds to:
The minimum valid date for a SqlDateTime structure is January 1, 1753
Similarly, from the MSDN page for @SqlDateTime.MaxValue.Value:
The maximum valid date for a SqlDateTime structure is December 31, 9999.
I have attempted the following approach, but encountered issues on the server indicating that the dates are not defined correctly. When debugging in TypeScript, I observed discrepancies from the original versions as well.
this.defaultStartDate = String(new Date('1/1/1753'));
this.defaultEndDate = String(new Date('12/31/9999'));
I believe there must be a more efficient way to initialize these dates, and I suspect I am overlooking something simple. What would be the optimal method to define these dates using TypeScript/JavaScript to mimic the default start/end dates initialized by the previous C# code?
