you can convert data table to json and can return as jsonresult...it will work public string ConvertDataTabletoString() { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(Data Source=SureshDasari;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=true)) { using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(select title=Citylat=latitudelng=longitudedescription from LocationDetails con)) { con.Open(); SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); da.Fill(dt); System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer(); List > rows = new List >(); Dictionary row; foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows) { row = new Dictionary (); foreach (DataColumn col in dt.Columns) { row.Add(col.ColumnName dr[col]); } rows.Add(row); } return serializer.Serialize(rows); } } } http://www.aspdotnet-suresh.com/2013/05/c-convert-datatable-to-json-string-in-c.html http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/system.web.script.serialization.javascriptserializer.deserializeobject%28v=vs.110%29.aspx after doing this public ActionResult Action() { return ConvertDataTabletoString(); } in client script $( #buttonid ).click(function () { var actionUrl = '@Url.Action(Action Controller)' ; $.getJSON(actionUrl displayData); });
