how to return error in an action that is returning a List type via ajax












0















I have an action method which is called by javascript on the front-end using $.getJSON(path) which looks something like below in order to populate a dropdownlist:



 [HttpGet]
public List<SelectListItem> GetSomeList(int cId)
{...}


I now need to modify it so that I can return some custom logic based errors based on certain conditions. What's the best way to go here? Should I follow this and go with IActionResult? Please note my question is more specific to Core MVC and not Web API.

    To return exception/error messages as JSON, the answer is yes, you need to change return type to IActionResult and put return new JsonResult(...) containing error message you want to show on successful AJAX callback.

    I found a similar issue: stackoverflow.com/questions/39353016/asp-net-core-error-json. You can adjust the error message and status code of the response based from provided solutions there.
