NSDate Extension to create .net JSON date strings and convert back. Testing for this was very limited, so use with caution. Some of the code was taken from here. http://www.pittle.org/weblog/how-to-convert-datetime-net-object-serialized-as-json-by-wcf-to-

A very short test

  NSDate *timenow=[NSDate date];
    NSLog(@"Date before date2dot net=%@",[timenow description]);
  NSString *date2DotNet=[timenow dateToDotNet];
  NSLog(@"Dot net version of now = %@",date2DotNet);
  timenow=[NSDate dateFromDotNet:date2DotNet];
  NSLog(@"Date back from date2dot net=%@",[timenow description]);
