If you're using MVC 2, you have to return something like this :

return Json(your_object, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

I've found it here

For a different usage, here is my code.

JQuery :

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#InputDate").live('click', function () {
        var date = $("#InputDate").val();
        if (date != "") {
            $.getJSON("/Home/GetNames",
                    { date: $("#InputDate").val() },
                    function (data) {
                        $("#ProviderName").empty();
                        // [...]
                        });
                    });
        }
    });
});

And C#

public JsonResult GetNames(string date)
 {
   List list = new List();
   // [...]
   return Json(list, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
