Change public class shahriarController : ApiController to public class shahriarController : Controller. You have to inherit from Controller, not from ApiController. It will solve the 'JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet'.

public class shahriarController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Get()
    {
        List<Student> list = new List<Student>();
        list.Add(new Student() { Name = "sjass", Roll = "5544" });
        list.Add(new Student() { Name = "wwww", Roll = "0777" });
        list.Add(new Student() { Name = "rrttt", Roll = "4355" });

        return Json(list, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }
}

I had the same problem. Its turned out I had the class defined like " public class PersonalApiController : ApiController" instead of " public class PersonalApiController : Controller". Changing that resolved the problem.

You are using controller json respose, instead of ApiController response type. Use below code and you should be all set.

return new JsonResult()
            {
                Data = false,
                JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet
            };
