How do I return json with error message

Hi all I'm using ajax to call detail model by Id. But I want to display a message if model return data is null. How do I ?

my code ajax to display details model

$('#PGId').blur(function () {
        var errormsg = "";
        var id = $('#PGId').val();
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: '@Url.Action("GetDetailPG", "TimeSheetHeader")',
            data: { pgId: id },
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (data) {
               success: function (data) {
                if (data.isValid) {
                    $("#FullName").text(data.FisrtName + " " + data.LastName)
                    $('.Shiff[value="' + data.ShiffId + '"]').prop('checked', true)
                }
                else {
                    alert(data.error);
                }
            },
            },
            error: function () {

            }
        });
    })

my controller to bind data

[HttpGet]
    public ActionResult GetDetailPG(string pgId)
    {
        PGProfileViewModel pgProfileModel = new PGProfileViewModel();
        pgProfileModel.PGId = pgId;
        var query = _pgProfileService.GetPGProfileById(pgProfileModel.PGId);
        var model = query.ToViewModel();

        if (model == null)
        {
            return Json(new {isValid = false, error = "Error Message"}, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
        else
        {
            model.LastName = query.LastName.Trim();
            model.FisrtName = query.FisrtName.Trim();
            model.ShiffId = query.ShiffId;
            return Json(new { model = model , isValid = true }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
    }

If you returns a json object (as business model error) the javascript data value (which has the request result) will never be null.

You can try an approach like this:

C#

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult GetDetailPG(string pgId)
{
  PGProfileViewModel pgProfileModel = new PGProfileViewModel();
  pgProfileModel.PGId = pgId;
  var query = _pgProfileService.GetPGProfileById(pgProfileModel.PGId);
  var model = query.ToViewModel();

  if (model == null)
  {
    return Json({
      isValid: false,
      error: "Your error message"
    }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
  }
  else
  {
    model.LastName = query.LastName.Trim();
    model.FisrtName = query.FisrtName.Trim();
    model.ShiffId = query.ShiffId;

    return Json({
      model: model,
      isValid: true
      }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
   }
}

JS

//success function of your ajax request.
success: function (data) {
  if (data.isValid) {
    $("#FullName").text(data.FisrtName + " " + data.LastName)
    $('.Shiff[value="' + data.ShiffId + '"]').prop('checked', true)
  }
  else {
    alert(data.error);
  }
}
