Unable to parse data using JavaScriptDateTimeConverter

I am trying to parse plain JSON using Json.net

 string inputJson = @"
                {
                 ""modificationTime"" : ""\/Date(1224043200000)\/""
                 }";

And the property is defined

[JsonProperty("modificationTime")]
[JsonConverter(typeof(JavaScriptDateTimeConverter))]
public DateTime ModificationTime { get; set; }

But DeserializeObject throws an exception with the following message: "Unexpected token or value while parsing the date. Token: date, value: 10/15/2008 04:00:00"

Well, as far as I can see, he actually made out the date, right? This exception is thrown from line 68 in JavaScriptDateTimeConverter.cs:

68 if (reader.TokenType != JsonToken.StartConstructor ||  string.Compare(reader.Value.ToString(), "Date", StringComparison.Ordinal) != 0)
69            throw new Exception("Unexpected token or value when parsing date. Token: {0}, Value: {1}".FormatWith(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, reader.TokenType, reader.Value));
70    
71          reader.Read();

In this place, reader.TokenType is Date and reader.Value.ToString () is 10/15/2008 04:00:00. Any ideas?

Json.NET deserializes dates in the format:

"\/Date(1224043200000)\/"

default. JavaScriptDateTimeConverter is for dates with the format:

new Date(1234567890)
