DevExpress MVC extensions support the Ajax.ActionLink() helper method.
The Ajax.ActionLink() helper method returns an anchor element that contains the URL to the specified action method; when the action link is clicked, the action method is invoked asynchronously by using JavaScript.
In this demo, the Ajax.ActionLink() is used to render a link that allows end-users to load information about the GridView item's category.
You can learn more about the Ajax.ActionLink() helper from MSDN Reference: AjaxExtensions.ActionLink Method.
