Type of ActionResult in ASP.NET MVC

Type of Action Result in ASP.NET MVC:-

ActionResult is the predefined class that is used to provide the Type of data that will be rendered by the view Object under the Controller.
ActionResult is the predefined class of MVC  which has different sub-classes to manage view data.

1) ViewResult:-  It is used to return complete HTML View content under View Page.

                            It is used to return content page results under the controller action method.

                           it is similar to ActionResult Result but ActionResult is the base class and                                                    ViewResult is the subclass.

                          public ViewResult MethodName()
                          {

                                    return View();

                           }

2) ContentResult:- It is used to return content or String from Controller Action Method.

                                public ContentResult MethodName()
                                {

                                    return Content("welcome in html");

                                  }

3) PartialViewResult:

 It is used to render partial view page, partial view page is special pages in MVC that will not be rendered by the layout page means it will be rendered independently.


   public PartialViewResult Methodname()
   {

       return PartialView("Methodname");

    }



4) Empty Result:-   This type is genuinely for returning nothing. But the problem is, this EmptyResult type doesn’t have any helper metho    d. So we can use it by making its object, as shown below,  If we want to create without a return type method then we can use EmptyResult.


public EmptyResult MethodName()
{

   //   return null;

    return new EmptyResult();

}

5) FileResult :-     This is used to return complete File Content ,File can be text,html or xml type.


     public FileResult MethodName()
    {

      return File("filename","file-type");

     }


6) JSONResult:-  It is used to return JSON Data using JSON array and JSON Object


  public  JSONResult MethodName()
    {

       return Json(new { Name = "SCS", ID = 1 });

     }

7)JavaScriptResult:-  It is used to return JavaScript Data which will be called by any other view page


   public JavaScriptResult Index7()
        {
            return JavaScript("alert('welcome in scs')");
        }



We are calling from index.cshtml

<script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Action("Index7")"></script>

DSA in C# | Data Structure and Algorithm using C#

  DSA in C# |  Data Structure and Algorithm using C#: Lecture 1: Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms (1 Hour) 1.1 What are Data Structures? Data Structures are ways to store and organize data so it can be used efficiently. Think of data structures as containers that hold data in a specific format. Types of Data Structures: Primitive Data Structures : These are basic structures built into the language. Example: int , float , char , bool in C#. Example : csharp int age = 25;  // 'age' stores an integer value. bool isStudent = true;  // 'isStudent' stores a boolean value. Non-Primitive Data Structures : These are more complex and are built using primitive types. They are divided into: Linear : Arrays, Lists, Queues, Stacks (data is arranged in a sequence). Non-Linear : Trees, Graphs (data is connected in more complex ways). Example : // Array is a simple linear data structure int[] number...
