Return Multiple Objects Using ASP.NET MVC'S JsonResult Class

Question

Is it possible to Multiple Objects Using ASP.NET MVC'S JsonResult Class.... Here is a controller method which returns json object of my records but i also want to pass the count value....

var materials = consRepository.FindAllMaterials().AsQueryable();
var count = materials.Count();
var results = new PagedList<MaterialsObj>(materials, currentPage-1, pageSize);
return Json(results);

How to return count along with the results from asp.net mvc controller....

Solution

How about creating an anonymous type and JSON'ing that?

e.g.

var resultCount = results.Count;
var genericResult = new { Count = resultCount, Results = results };
return Json(genericResult);

You can then eval your json string in your script as before but just query the Count and Results properties on your eval result.
