Ajax更新后不会呈现部分视图

Question

asp mvc 3.

On initial render, all is great. I enter a search string that i know exists and click the search button, the partial view (_searchresult) disappears. I tested in the network tab of the developer tool and I see ajax returns the results as expected. So the ajax call gets the correct results but does not render. I went to

localhost/home/_searchresult 

but all it displays is [].

View:

    @model Tracker.Models.PaginatedList<TrespassTracker.Models.PersonViewModel>

        <div id="search-index">
                <div class="editor-field">   
                    <label>First Name:</label>
                    @Html.TextBox("FirstName")

                    <label style = "margin-left: 15px;">Last Name:</label>
                    @Html.TextBox("LastName", "", new { style = "margin-right: 15px;" })
                </div>            
                <div id="search-controls-index">
                      <input type="button" id="searchbtn" class="skbutton" value="Search" />
                      <input type="button" id="addPersonbtn" class="skbutton" value="Add New Person" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("AddPerson", "Person")'"/>
                </div>
        </div>

        <div id="result-list-index">  
            @Html.Partial("_SearchResult", Model)
         </div>
        <div id="paging-controls">

            <div id="paging-controls-left">
            @{  if(Model.HasPreviousPage)
                    {
                        @Html.ActionLink("<< Previous", "Index", new { page = (Model.PageIndex - 1) });                                
                    }

                    if (Model.HasNextPage)
                    {
                        @Html.ActionLink("Next >>", "Index", new { page = (Model.PageIndex + 1) });  
                    }
            }
            </div>

            <div id="paging-controls-right">
                @{ int PageNumber = @Model.PageIndex + 1; }
                Page: @PageNumber of @Model.TotalPages
            </div>
        </div>

   </div>

jquery:

$(document).ready(function(){    
        $("#searchbtn").on('click', function () {
            var fsname = $("#FirstName").val();
            var ltname = $("#LastName").val();

                $.ajax({
                    type: 'GET',
                    url: "Home/_SearchResult",
                    data: { fname: fsname, lname: ltname },
                    success: function (data) {
                        $("#result-list-index").html(data);
                    },
                    error: function () {
                        $("#result-list-index").html("An error occurred while trying to retrieve your data.");
                    }
                });
        });
  });

Controller:

    public ActionResult Index(int? page)
    {
        const int PAGESIZE = 10;

        var peopleList = repo.GetPeople();

        var pagedPeopleList = new PaginatedList<PersonViewModel>(peopleList, page ?? 0, PAGESIZE);


        return View(pagedPeopleList);
    }


    public JsonResult _SearchResult(string fname, string lname)
    {
        var peopleList = repo.GetSearchResult(fname, lname);

        return Json(peopleList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

==========EDIT===========

I assume by the comments the _searchresult method is wrong, so I changed it to a PartialResult one:

    public PartialViewResult _SearchResult(string fname, string lname)
    {
        var peopleList = repo.GetSearchResult(fname, lname);

        //return Json(peopleList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        return PartialView("_SearchResult");
    }

Now the partial renders on the index page, but it returns the failure notice due to an internal error 500. I tracked it down and found a null error on the Model in the partial view. Here is the partial. The indicated error location is at the foreach, object not set to an instance... which I believe means it is returning a null Model.

@model Tracker.Models.PaginatedList<TrespassTracker.Models.PersonViewModel>


                    <table class="data-table">
                        <tr>
                            <th>
                                FirstName
                            </th>
                            <th>
                                LastName

                            <th>

Answer 1

You're not returning the Partial View, you're returning the data. To return the Partial View, you'd have to do something like (note that we're not sending back JSON):

public ActionResult _SearchResult(string fname, string lname)
{
    var peopleList = repo.GetSearchResult(fname, lname);

    //Is peopleList the right model type? If not, create your model here

    return View(peopleList);
}
