Calling a method with Ajax and returning a view

Question

I have a method Show which returns a view Show with a model. I use that model to populate two Kendo grids. In the Show view, I have a button which on click, sends a model from the view to a method Save in the controller. Due to the fact that I call the Save method via an ajax call, I cannot return a view in the Save method. I tried two solutions. I tried to create a third method, let's call it Test for the sake of the argument and I tried to use RedirectToAction from Save and redirect it to Test but I found out that RedirectToAction does not work with an ajax call. I decided to try with a partial view but it's also not working. public ActionResult SaveFile(List model, int type) { //code shortened for brevity return PartialView(model, type); } This also does not work. I am kind of stuck with this internship task I got with an existing .net core app and I am not sure how to proceed.

modify you SaveFile method like this.... public ActionResult SaveFile(List model, int type) { //code shortened for brevity return Json( "success" ,JsonRequestBehaviour.AllowGet); } if you are calling ajax like this.. then you have to call response in success and here you have to redirect....any action $.ajax({ url: '@Url.Action("SaveFile", "XyZController")' , data: { Id: id}, cache: false , type: "POST" , dataType: 'json' , success: function (data) { if (data== "success" ) { alert( "saved successfully" ); window.location.href = '@Url.Action("ActionWantToRedirect","ItsController")' ; } else { alert( 'Error' ) } }, error: function (reponse) { alert(JSON.stringify(reponse)); } });
