Formatting lost when updating jqGrid row

I display a jqGrid table of recipes and provide a master-details type view for the user. When the user selects a recipe from the grid, it displays the details of that recipe in a div below the grid. Then, I provide an in-place editing capability inside that div. When the user saves the edits, I redisplay the details to the recipe. That all works well enough. Now, the selected grid row may have data which doesn't match what the details show after the update, so I do something like this to update the grid:

$.ajax({
   type: "GET",
   data: "id=" recipeId,
   url:  '@Url.Action("GetGridDataForRecipe", "Recipe")',
   dataType: "json",
   success: function (result) {
      var myGrid = $("#recipeGrid");
      var selRowId = myGrid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selrow');
      myGrid.jqGrid('setRowData', selRowId, result);
   }
});

My controller action looks like so:

public JsonResult GetGridDataForRecipe(int id)
{
   // ...
   var recipeData = context.recipes.Where(m => m.RecipeId == id).Select(row => new
   {
      RecipeId = row.RecipeId,
      RecipeName = row.RecipeName,
      RecipeDa开发者_如何学Pythonte = row.RecipeDate,
   }).First();
   return Json(recipeData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

So, the update works almost perfectly with the exception that the RecipeDate entry ends up getting displayed like so:

/Date(1317182400000)/

rather than the formatted date:

10/03/2011

that I specified in the colModel when I return the grid rows:

{ name: 'RecipeDate', index: 'RecipeDate', width: 120, align: 'left', sorttype: 'date',
   formatter: 'date', formatoptions: { newformat: 'm/d/Y'},
...

There's a disconnect here between the colModel that I specified when the grid is displayed and the data I'm updating later. Do I need to re-specify this information? How do I do that?

Do I need to re-specify this information?

Yes.

How do I do that?

You could perform this formatting in the anonymous object your are returning from your controller action:

var recipeData = context.recipes.Where(m => m.RecipeId == id).Select(row => new
{
    RecipeId = row.RecipeId,
    RecipeName = row.RecipeName,
    RecipeDate = row.RecipeDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"),
}).First();

Found an answer on GitHub.

Adding $.jgrid.formatter.date.reformatAfterEdit = true; before I call setRowData seems to be a good work around for now.

I added this code and my dates now come out formatted as I expect.
