When returning data from controller should I return Json?

Katrell01

So I am trying to return the data from my controller to pass to my view for my DataTable , I am trying to implement ajax which allows me to load just the DataTable opposed to the whole page when I click a checkbox .

So initially I was returning my data as normal : return View(object) which displayed my DataTable correctly , but was getting an issue from my .js file b/c the data wasn't being returned correctly

So I changed the data being returned from my ActiomMethod to return json:** return Content(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(object), "application/json");**
but now my DataTable doesn't work properly it just displays the returned data as json

Please let me know if any additional information need to be provided.

This seems to be a continuation of your other thread, correct?
