Answer 1

In case, if you take care of JSON Formatting , just return JSON Formatted string

public string Test(string id)
{
      var res = new JObject();
      JArray array = new JArray();
      array.Add("Manual text");
      array.Add(new DateTime(2000, 5, 23));
      res["id"] = 1;
      res["result"] = array;
      return YourJSONSerializedString;
}

else Use built in JsonResult(ActionResult)

    public JsonResult Test(string id)
    {

          return Json(objectToConvert);
    }

Answer 2

You should just be able to do this in your action method:

return Content( res.ToString(), "application/json" );
