Question

I have a ajax call that goes like

this.GetTransactionsInputToday = function () {
             var status="complete"
             $.ajax({
                 url: '/Management/function1',
                 contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                 data: status,
                 type: 'GET',
                 cache: false,
                 success: function (result) {
                     return result;
                 }
             });
         }

I have also tried doing like this

this.GetTransactionsInputToday = function () {
             var status="complete"; 
              $.ajax({
                     url: '/Management/function1/' + status,
                     type: 'GET',
                     cache: false,
                     success: function (result) {
                         return result;
                     }
                 });
             }

I have a controller function in my management controller class

public JsonResult function1(string status)
{
Some code here.. 
}

The issue is that every time function1 is called teh value of status comes as null.
CAn any one please let me know where am I going wrong??

You need to define name for the data you sending data: {'status': status}:

this.GetTransactionsInputToday = function () {
    var status="complete"
    var r = '';

    $.ajax({
        url: '/Management/function1',
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        data: {'status': status},
        type: 'GET',
        cache: false,
        success: function (result) {
            r = result;
        }
    });

    return r;
};

Also your this.GetTransactionsInputToday will not return result as you expected. The success handler of ajax function gets called asynchronously. So your return r statement will return ” as it gets called before the Ajax request gets completed.
