ASP.NET MVC Return Json Result?

Question

I\'m trying to return a JSON result (array);

If I do it manually it works

    resources:[
{
    name: \'Resource 1\',
    id: 1,
    color:\'red\'
},

It should be :

public async Task<ActionResult> GetSomeJsonData()
{
    var model = // ... get data or build model etc.

    return Json(new { Data = model }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); 
}

or more simply:

return Json(model, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); 

I did notice that you are calling GetResources() from another ActionResult which wont work. If you are looking to get JSON back, you should be calling GetResources() from ajax directly...
