How do you trigger the “error” callback in a jQuery AJAX call using ASP.NET MVC?

Question

This is related to my question on how to handle errors from jQuery AJAX calls. Several responses suggested that I use the \"error\" callback to display any errors from a jQ

Answer 1

If you're using

[HandleError]

then throwing a HttpException is going to get caught and routed to your custom error page.

Another option is to use

Response.StatusCode = 500;
Response.Write("Error Message");
Response.End();

There's probably a more convenient way to write this but I haven't stumbled upon it yet.
