This is driving me crazy, similar to this. If I use a standard form and no javascript the controller correctly binds the datetime. However when I'm posting from a form it always binds as null:

"MyObject.Name": "Test name",
"MyObject.Date": "5/1/2001"

I've tried a couple of variations, 5-1-2001, etc. but cannot seem to get it to take. I can confirm that it is being passed to the server as it shows up in the Request.Form string. My culture is Gregorian and I've set:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;

In Application_BeginRequest(). What gives?
