I have an ASP.NET MVC application with a page that displays a large table of rows & columns of information.

I have a textbox at the top of the page allowing a user to filter the results in the table. I want the user to be able to start typing a word in the textbox and with each keypress, the results in the table to be updated based on the users filter text.

I’ve done similar things where I simply return a JsonResult response from my Controller, with a couple of small bits of data, but am not sure of the recommended approach if I want to essentially re-render my whole table (with the new data within it) upon each keypress?

I should also mention that the ViewModel I intend to use when the page is first loaded (prior to any ajax stuff happening) contains an IPagedList, as the table data needs to be paginated and sortable.

    What I would do is to work with JQuery ajax API and also with partial views.

    Have a look at following article. It displays how you can be able to manipulate your html seamlessly on ASP.NET MVC :
