如何在使用ASP时在客户端显示错误。净MVC AJAX

I am using ASP.NET MVC AJAX with the @AJAX.ActionLink helper to implement item deletion from a grid. When the request is executed it returns the grid without the deleted item and the AJAX helpers replace the grid. This works just fine but the problem is what to do if the item cannot be deleted (in my case due to foreign key constraints). How can I report the error to the client and display appropriate message. I don't want to use the OnFailure function blindly because I don't want to show the same error message for all errors. Ideally there will be a way to send specific error from the action and inspect the error in the JavaScript OnFailure function but I can't seem to find it.
