PartialViewResult和jsonresult继承自基类ActionResult。因此，如果返回类型是动态决定的，则将方法输出声明为ActionResult。

public ActionResult DynamicReturnType(string parameter)
        {
            if (parameter == "JSON")
                return Json("<JSON>", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
            else if (parameter == "PartialView")
                return PartialView("<ViewName>");
            else
                return null;


        }

与编码框架的替代解决方案

操作返回json

控制器

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult SomeActionMethod()
    {
        return IncJson(new SomeVm(){Id = 1,Name ="Inc"});
    }

剃须刀页面

@using (var template = Html.Incoding().ScriptTemplate<SomeVm>("tmplId"))
{
    using (var each = template.ForEach())
    {
        <span> Id: @each.For(r=>r.Id) Name: @each.For(r=>r.Name)</span>
    }
}

@(Html.When(JqueryBind.InitIncoding)
  .Do()
  .AjaxGet(Url.Action("SomeActionMethod","SomeContoller"))
  .OnSuccess(dsl => dsl.Self().Core()
                              .Insert
                              .WithTemplate(Selector.Jquery.Id("tmplId"))
                              .Html())
  .AsHtmlAttributes()
  .ToDiv())

操作返回html

控制器

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult SomeActionMethod()
    {
        return IncView();
    }

剃须刀页面

@(Html.When(JqueryBind.InitIncoding)
  .Do()
  .AjaxGet(Url.Action("SomeActionMethod","SomeContoller"))
  .OnSuccess(dsl => dsl.Self().Core().Insert.Html())
  .AsHtmlAttributes()
  .ToDiv())

我发现用JQuery实现MVC ajax GET调用的几个问题，这让我头疼，所以在这里分享解决方案。

Make sure to include the data type "json" in the ajax call. This will automatically parse the returned JSON object for you (given the server returns valid json). Include the JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet; without this MVC was returning a HTTP 500 error (with dataType: json specified on the client). Add cache: false to the $.ajax call, otherwise you will ultimately get HTTP 304 responses (instead of HTTP 200 responses) and the server will not process your request. Finally, the json is case sensitive, so the casing of the elements needs to match on the server side and client side.

JQuery示例:

$.ajax({
  type: 'get',
  dataType: 'json',
  cache: false,
  url: '/MyController/MyMethod',
  data: { keyid: 1, newval: 10 },
  success: function (response, textStatus, jqXHR) {
    alert(parseInt(response.oldval) + ' changed to ' + newval);                                    
  },
  error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    alert('Error - ' + errorThrown);
  }
});

示例MVC代码:

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult MyMethod(int keyid, int newval)
{
  var oldval = 0;

  using (var db = new MyContext())
  {
    var dbRecord = db.MyTable.Where(t => t.keyid == keyid).FirstOrDefault();

    if (dbRecord != null)
    {
      oldval = dbRecord.TheValue;
      dbRecord.TheValue = newval;
      db.SaveChanges();
    }
  }

    return Json(new { success = true, oldval = oldval},
                JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

对于已经升级到MVC 3的人来说，这是一个很好的方法 使用MVC3和Json

    public ActionResult GetExcelColumn()
    {            
            List<string> lstAppendColumn = new List<string>();
            lstAppendColumn.Add("First");
            lstAppendColumn.Add("Second");
            lstAppendColumn.Add("Third");
  return Json(new { lstAppendColumn = lstAppendColumn,  Status = "Success" }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
            }
        }

另一种处理JSON数据的好方法是使用JQuery getJSON函数。你可以致电

public ActionResult SomeActionMethod(int id) 
{ 
    return Json(new {foo="bar", baz="Blech"});
}

方法从jquery getJSON方法简单…

$.getJSON("../SomeActionMethod", { id: someId },
    function(data) {
        alert(data.foo);
        alert(data.baz);
    }
);
