String var containing time, not displayed correctly.

[edvinv]

Variable time from following sample is in watch window displayed as: "05/07/2015 22:00:00", but of course logged to console correctly as "2015-05-07T22:00:00.000Z".

var time= "2015-05-07T22:00:00.000Z";
console.log(time);

Please correct me that this is should be done following way:

1. Add test to the DebuggerTests.cs file
2. Add file to the Nodejs\Tests\TestData\DebuggerProject\ where would be JS snippet above
3. Run and make it green

Looks like I have test for that.
Now have more input how to fix that and what's broken.
The JToken object on the line https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejstools/blob/master/Nodejs/Product/Nodejs/Debugger/Serialization/NodeBacktraceVariable.cs#L33 have value of type Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JTokenType.Date which is converted to local time by the library

Not so simple as it seems from the first sight.
Node respond correct value ..{"ref":8,"type":"string","value":"2015-05-07T22:00:00.000Z"}.., but Newtonsoft.JSON parse value as DateTime and then corresponding value in the debugger looks like

...
{
  "ref": 8,
  "type": "string",
  "value": "2015-05-07T22:00:00Z"
}...

and there no way to recover that information.
So far to have workaround for that issues we have eaither

1. to override some deserialization logic, so no DateTime deserializatin would happens
2. or to create strict types for the debugger commands, and explicitly define schema for Node.JS debug protocol.

@mousetraps could you take a look?

Seems like that DateParse enumeration should be 'None' for the value field if you don't want it converted. See http://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_DateParseHandling.htm

I will try that. Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. Will comeback when test that.
