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

I think that event is raised for any response that has a response code other than 200. I can't find proof of this in the docs though.

To do this from code (works in Webforms):

throw new HttpException(500, "Error message");
