ASP.NET MVC Call Controller with jQuery $.ajax and Return PartialViewResult

Hi,

Didn't find a one-stop answer to this question, so here it is:

"How do I POST JSON to an ASP.NET MVC controller?"

It's actually quite simple. Follow the following steps.

1. Create a model to represent the data structure you want to POST



2. Create a controller method to represent the endpoint you want to contact



3. Create the following jQuery call to make an AJAX call from the frontend to the backend



You can return a PartialViewResult from the controller, and as long as the jQuery AJAX call expects html it will be done.

Hope this helps someone.
