Return List Object as Json (Also useful for JqueryUI and Linq Method)

public ActionResult GetItemList()
{
    var search = Request.Params["term"];

    var itemList = (from items in db.TblItems where items.ItemName.StartsWith(search) select new { label = items.ItemName, value = items.ItemName }).ToList();

    return Json(itemList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
