how to send Json output to view in asp.net mvc

Question

Hi, How can i pass the json output from controller action to its view ? As I tried to send before, My code is :

public ActionResult Index() { Guid Id = new Guid("66083eec-7965-4f3b-adcf-218febbbceb3"); List officersTasks = tasks_to_officer_management.GetTasksToOfficers(Id); return Json(officersTasks) }

it is asking for JsonRequestBehavior.AllowJson like parameter. I know it is new in asp.net mvc 2 but as redirect to view there is nothis happens but asking for download the json output file. I want to work with returned data in my Jquery . but something going wrong there. and if I removed the parameter then it is showing error :
This request has been blocked because sensitive information could be disclosed to third party web sites when this is used in a GET request. To allow GET requests, set JsonRequestBehavior to AllowGet.

How to avoid this and get json data at view ?

Answer 1

Here is an example of what you are trying to do. First in your view you call $.getJSON to grab the JSON data from the action:

 $.getJSON('/Data/StockQuote', function(data) {
    if (data.success) {
       ShowStockQuote(data);                         
    }
 });

Then your action will look like this:

   public JsonResult GetStockQuote()
   {                 
       JsonResult result = new JsonResult()
       {
          Data = new { 
                 lastTradePrice = 50,
                 lastUpdated = "10/1/2010",
                 expirationDate = "10/2/2010",
                 success = true
           },
           JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet
        };

       return result;
   }

Once the JSON data is returned from your action to the $.getJSON you can use data to access all the values off of the JSON object. So data.success will give you the success and so forth.
