Can .NET (managed code) read and write to CouchDB?

I would like to build a part of my project that does document management using CouchDB

Its a late answer, but do check out Hammock. It's active and going into production use on several projects soon and is receiving regular updates and fixes. Besides basic object persistence, Hammock gives you:

True POCO. You don't even need an 'id' property; Hammock tracks that internally.
Robust support for views, including an easy to use fluent API that both generates AND executes views, and support for creating custom map/reduce views.
Attachments support.
A generic Repository<> class that helps bring your queries/views (i.e. _Design doc) together with your c# application code. Repositories are responsible for maintaining _design docs, and this helps keep CouchDB views from feeling like stored procs.
A full unit test suite. This is not prototype software.

Note: The cast to (Suit[]) is not strictly necessary, but it does make the code 0.5 ns faster.

Jquery – How to format a Microsoft JSON date

eval() is not necessary. This will work fine:

var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));

The substr() function takes out the /Date( part, and the parseInt() function gets the integer and ignores the )/ at the end. The resulting number is passed into the Date constructor.

I have intentionally left out the radix (the 2nd argument to parseInt); see my comment below.

Also, I completely agree with Rory's comment: ISO-8601 dates are preferred over this old format - so this format generally shouldn't be used for new development.

For ISO-8601 formatted JSON dates, just pass the string into the Date constructor:

var date = new Date(jsonDate); //no ugly parsing needed; full timezone support
