Controller:

        {
            IList<CalendarDTO> tasksList = new List<CalendarDTO>();

            tasksList.Add(new CalendarDTO
            {
                id = 1,
                title = "Google search",
                start = ToUnixTimespan(DateTime.Now),
                end = ToUnixTimespan(DateTime.Now.AddHours(4)),
                url = "www.google.com"
            });
            tasksList.Add(new CalendarDTO
            {
                id = 1,
                title = "Bing search",
                start = ToUnixTimespan(DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)),
                end = ToUnixTimespan(DateTime.Now.AddDays(1).AddHours(4)),
                url = "www.bing.com"
            });

            return Json(tasksList);
        }

        private long ToUnixTimespan(DateTime date)
        {
            TimeSpan tspan = date.ToUniversalTime().Subtract(
     new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0));

            return (long)Math.Truncate(tspan.TotalSeconds);
        }

Added Class

public class CalendarDTO
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
        public string title { get; set; }
        public long start { get; set; }
        public long end { get; set; }
        public string url { get; set; }
    }

Site.Master

<title><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server" /></title>
<link href="../../Content/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="../../Content/fullcalendar.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="../../Scripts/fullcalendar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

View Page I used Index page which given as default

   $(document).ready(function() {
       $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
           events: "/Home/CalendarData"
       });
   });  

And added div with id “calender”.

As you can see above my method returning the Json out put. but I am getting error as:
This request has been blocked because sensitive information could be disclosed to third party web sites when this is used in a GET request. To allow GET requests, set JsonRequestBehavior to AllowGet.

So I just add the parameter as JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet to Json() .

but it is asking for download the json output file. rather than this it must be redirect to view as usual , right ? why should this is happening?

Answer 1

Probably a stupid question but did you include jquery-1.3.2.js and fullcalendar.js in your site? Remember that with the default ASP.NET MVC 2.0 project template, only jquery-1.4.1.js is included in the Scripts folder. Also I would recommend you downloading the latest versions of jquery and the fullCalendar plugin.

Also here’s another gotcha when returning JSON in the CalendarData action:

return Json(tasksList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

Contrary to ASP.NET MVC 1.0, in ASP.NET MVC 2.0 the JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet is necessary if you want this action to be accessible over GET which is what I think the calendar plugin is doing.

Of course you would have seen this error if you used FireBug to analyze the AJAX request/response data.
