Hi there, i have this small question.
When we do post using ajax, i can return boolean type of value using ActionResult type in controller method after success but I cannot return string like 'Success' or other message. Can you guys tell me how can i do that kind of stuff?


Any help would be appreciated.

What I have tried:

I tried something like this



this goes for ajax call in jquery

$.ajax({

    url: "/Employee/SubmitInformation",
    dataType: 'json',
    data: {
        EmployeeID: EmpID,
        EmpName: empName
    },
    type: "POST",
    cache: false,
    success: function (data) {
        //want to return data as not boolean but string here
    },
    error: function (a, b, c) {
       alert("Error")
    }
});

this goes in controller

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult SubmitInformation(int EmployeeID,string EmpName)
        {
           //after successful entry of information 
           //return success message
           return Json("success", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

        }
