Question

The Objective:

Execute a javascript function on $.ajax named on server side and get it on result.

The Problem:

On data.ExecuteClientCode I’ll get the name of the function that I should execute in that case : "AfterFamilySelectedUpdateParameters()" but my problem is that i don’t know how to set that string in order to be executed.

The code:

view:

function AfterFamilySelected()
           {
                $.ajax({
                        url: "/@Model.ControllerAfterEntitySelected/@Model.ActionAfterEntitySelected" ,
                        type: "POST",
                        async: false,
                        success: function(data, status, xhr) {
                                     **data.ExecuteClientCode;**
                                  },
                        error: function(xhr, status, err) {
                            alert('error');
                        }
                    });
           }

controller:

   [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult AfterFamilySelected() 
        {
            return Json(new { ExecuteClientCode = "AfterFamilySelectedUpdateParameters()" });
        }

Answer 1

Assuming the method is attached to the window you could do:

Server

 HttpPost]
 public ActionResult AfterFamilySelected() 
 {
    return Json(new { ExecuteClientCode = "AfterFamilySelectedUpdateParameters" });
 }

Client

 var callback = window[data.ExecuteClientCode];
 if (callback)
     callback();

You would need to remove the brackets from the value you return from the server.
