I would like to switch some of my code from WebForms(aspx) & WebServices(asmx) to MVC. Is there a way to get a MVC ActionResult using Ajax.

For an example I download Chris Hammond's MessageOfTheDay example (see Link below). From this modual shouldn't I be able to call

$(document).ready(function () {

$.ajax({

cache: false,

url: 'Christoc.Modules.MessageOfTheDay.Controllers/Message/Index.mvc',

dataType: 'html',

success: function (data) {

$('#PlaceHolder').empty();

$('#PlaceHolder').html(data);

});

},

error: function (err) {

console.log(err);

}

});

});
