Answer 1

How about creating an anonymous type and JSON'ing that?

e.g.

var resultCount = results.Count;
var genericResult = new { Count = resultCount, Results = results };
return Json(genericResult);

You can then eval your json string in your script as before but just query the Count and Results properties on your eval result.

My assumption was you were calling the eval function yourself. If you've done a jQuery call specifying a json result type, it will already have done that. – Couscous

@Oscar that is true for this case, but in cases where the data you want to obtain isn't a simple property, you would need to pass an object like Neil has demonstrated. – Haiphong

There is a way to send multiple objects which are dynamically identified to send. See this.

Please instead of just linking to a blog include at least a summary of the answer here. By doing that your answer does not become invalid should the blog ever go offline. It makes your answer nicely self-contained. You can still link to the blog for further details. – Gahan

Answer 3

In C# part:

Using new keywork

var genericResult = new { homeworkData = homework, attachmentData = homeworkAttachment };
var result = this.Json(genericResult, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
return result;

In jquery side :

function getHomewrokDetailResponse(dataSent, result) {
if (result && result.homeworkData) {
    homeworkId = result.homeworkData.homeworkId;

    ....
}
 if (result && result.attachmentData) {
    xy = result.attachmentData.xyz;

    ....
}
