How to return JSON from a odata method

Hi Miraks,

newResult can just return text. Maybe you can add your output to a temporary Aras item and then return the item?

Hi Angelalp,

Thank you for your answer.

return this.getInnovator().newResult(new Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject
 {
 {"return_code", 0} ,
 {"message", "hello world!"}
 }.ToString(Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.None));

The output is a text:

var item = this.getInnovator().newItem();
item.setProperty("json", new Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject

Regards.

Hi Miraks,

standard Aras Method just can return items. "Results" and "Error" are also just items.

Maybe you can use some kind of custom class or other more native C# techniques, but I am not sure. Some times you see these kind of designs in native Aras code.
