title: JSON to .Net Epoch date conversion
body: <p>I have a simple WebAPI project.  I am passing JSON date in Epoch format
  "pickupBefore":"/Date(1485360480-0800)/". When .Net catches it the DateTime shows year 1970. 
  It is suppose to be January 25, 2017.
  What should I do to get it in real time?</p>
  
  <p>In my .Net application, I am catching the date as DateTime.  Behind  the scene the DateTime structure get filled with the date from 1970.  I was looking for something in that structure that will help me to convert it to real time DateTime.</p>
  
  <p>I did looked at and tried <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2883576/how-do-you-convert-epoch-time-in-c">How do you convert epoch time in C#?</a> before asking the question, but it did not help to solve my issue.
  Thank you</p>
