将 url.action 作为 json 对象 mvc 返回

Question

My Controller method returns Json object which has url formed as shown below :

return Json(new { url = Url.Action("ShowContact", "Customer", new { vm = contactVM }) }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

In the ajax call's success code, I want to assign this url to window.location.href so I can redirect to view as per url formed. But return value of ajax call shows plain text value for route value passed as part of url.

Hence, I'm not getting whatever route value I want to pass to the redirect action method of my controller.

So what are the options I have in order to pass my route value which is complex c# object including collections? Is there any better approach to achieve what I want to do?

Thanks,

Answer 1

You can pass the url string directly instead of 'Url.Action()'. Something like this:

string url = "Customer/ShowContact?vm=" + contactVM;

return Json(url , JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

Try piecing it together:

return Json(
    new
    {
        url = Url.Action("ShowContact", "Customer"),
        vm = contactVM
    },
    JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

Then on the client:

var url = result.url + '?vm=' + JSON.stringify(result.vm);

Granted, I've never tested this.

Simple and short

return Json(new { redirectUrl = @Url.Action("View", "Controller") });
