Answer 1

Convert the date of your Smartphone to ISO format (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd) then send it to your PC and convert it there from yyyy-mm-dd to mm/dd/yyyy

Answer 2

Your web service should expose the date and time in a standard format (e.g. ISO-8601). If your web method is declared to return a DateTime, this should happen automatically - the situation you've described should only occur if you're explicitly doing something like:

return DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("d");

... don't do that, basically.
