how to return an error in an Ajax scenario from ASP.NET MVC action


I am using ASP.NET MVC with jquery. I have the following MVC Action that returns a partial page on Success. On Application Error, I am not sure what to send it for correctly handling it at the client side.




public ActionResult LoadFilterSet(int filterSetId)
{
try
{
BreadCrumbManager bcManager = this.ResetBreadCrumbManager(this.BreadCrumbManagerID);
GeneralHelper.LoadBreadCrumbManager(bcManager, filterSetId);

ViewData["BreadCrumbManager"] = bcManager;

return View("LoadFilterSet");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return Content("");
}
}



Following is my jquery ajax call. Notice that I am checking for the data length to make sure there are no errors. Please suggest me a better way of doing this.




$.ajax({
type: "GET",
dataType: "html",
async: true,
data: ({ filterSetId: selectedId }),
url: link,
contentType: "text/html; charset=utf-8",

success: function(data, textStatus) {
if (data.length > 0) {

// Clear the local filters first.
clearLocalFilters();

$('td.selected-filters table.filters-display').append(data);
}
}

});

  1. I would add an error function in your setup of the ajax call. Let the server determine the error message to display and pass it the ajax error handler and let it display it.

    success: function(data, textStatus) {
    // Clear the local filters first.
    clearLocalFilters();
    $('td.selected-filters table.filters-display').append(data);
    },
    error: function (data) {
    alert(data.responseText); // use any display logic here
    }


    In your controller's action, if an error is found

    Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.BadRequest;
    return Content(errorMessage, MediaTypeNames.Text.Plain);

  2. I think you can do return Content(false.ToString().ToLower()); if an error is thrown, and then check if data is not false

    if(data != false)
    {

    //do stuff
    }


    or

    if(!data)
    alert("Error");
    else
    {
    //do stuff
    }

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
