The answer of Syed Muhammad Zeeshan is what you are looking for, however you may return an EmptyResult.

public ActionResult AddToCart()
{
    //Logic to add item to the cart.
    return new EmptyResult();
}

According to this it has no impact on your code ASP.Net MVC Controller Actions that return void But maybe sometime you want to return data and then you could do something like this:

if (a) 
{
    return JSon(data);
}
else
{ 
     return new EmptyResult();
}
