Calling a method with Ajax and returning a view

Question

I have a method Show which returns a view Show with a model. I use that model to populate two Kendo grids. In the Show view,  I have a button which on click, sends a model from the view to a method Save in the controller.  Due to the fact that I call the Save method via an ajax call, I cannot return a view in the Save method.    I tried two solutions.   I tried to create a third method, let's call it Test for the sake of the argument and I tried to use  RedirectToAction from Save and redirect it to Test but I found out that RedirectToAction does not work with an ajax call.     I decided to try with a partial view but it's also not working.   public  ActionResult SaveFile(List  model,  int  type)           {                   //code shortened for brevity                    return  PartialView(model, type);            }       This also does not work. I am kind of stuck with this internship task I got with an existing .net core app and I am not sure how to proceed.

modify you SaveFile method like this....
public  ActionResult SaveFile(List  model,  int  type)
{
//code shortened for brevity
return  Json( "success" ,JsonRequestBehaviour.AllowGet);
}
if you  are calling ajax like this.. then you have to call response in success and here you have to redirect....any action
$.ajax({
url:  '@Url.Action("SaveFile", "XyZController")' ,
data: { Id: id},
cache:  false ,
type:  "POST" ,
dataType:  'json' ,
success:  function  (data) {
if  (data==  "success" ) {
alert( "saved successfully" );
window.location.href =    '@Url.Action("ActionWantToRedirect","ItsController")' ;
}
else  {
alert( 'Error' )
}
},
error:  function  (reponse) {
alert(JSON.stringify(reponse));
}
});
