c# mvc return JSON or File from AJAX call

Question

I have something like this in my View:

        var url = \'@Url.Action(\"DownloadZip\", \"Program\")\' + \'?programNums=\' + selectedRow;

        $.ajax({
          


        

Answer 1

Ajax: window.location = '/Home/download';

c#:

        public FileResult download()
        {
           return File("~/" + path, "application/pdf", string.Format(fileName));
        }
