Not able to take Value for json in MVC 5 Application

Question

public ActionResult DyGridData(string id, string sord, int page, int rows) {
    EmployeeContext context = new EmployeeContext();
    int pageIndex = Convert.ToInt32(page) - 1;
    int pageSize = rows;
    int totalRecords = context.Employees.Count();
    int totalPages = (int)Math.Ceiling((float)totalRecords / (float)pageSize);

    var employees = context.Employees.OrderBy(p=>p.EmployeeId).Skip(pageIndex * pageSize).Take(pageSize);

    var jsonData = new {
        total = totalPages,
        page,
        records = totalRecords,
        rows = ( from employee in employees
            select new   { i=employee.EmployeeId ,
                           cell = new string[]
               { employee.Name, employee.Age.ToString(),employee.Salary.ToString(),employee.Department,employee.City }
            }).ToArray()
    };

    return Json(jsonData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);         
}

Answer 1

Try to execute the query first by adding ToArray at the end of the statement.

var employees = context.Employees
   .OrderBy(p=>p.EmployeeId)
   .Skip(pageIndex * pageSize)
   .Take(pageSize)
   .ToArray(); // Add this.
