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> 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.
