C#

function ConvertDate(dateString) {
    var datet;
    if (dateString != undefined) {

        var date = new Date(parseInt(dateString.replace(/\/Date\((\d+)\)\//, '$1')));
        var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
        if (month < 10)
            month = '0' + month;
        var day = date.getDate();
        if (day < 10)
            day = '0' + day;
        var year = date.getFullYear();
        var datet = month + "/" + day + "/" + year;
        return datet;
    }
    else {
        datet = String.empty();
        return false;
    }

}

It works fine but i wanted to ask if someone could optimize it or provide an alternative.

A simple specification would have been more helpful, but how I see, you want to format a date.
You can use this JQuery plugin: http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/project/jquery-dateFormat[^]

SQL

function ConvertDate(dateString) {
    if (dateString && $.trim(dateString) != "") {
        return $.format.date(dateString.replace(/\/Date\((\d+)\)\//, '$1'), "MM/dd/yyyy");
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}
