Custom IsAjaxRequest function doesn't work in MVC 6

Question

I'm having a trouble in detecting ajax request in MVC 6 controller, since IsAjaxRequest is not found in MVC 6 I used the following function:

        public static bool IsAjaxRequest(this HttpRequest request)
    {
        if (request == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(request));
        var x = request.Headers["X-Requested-With"];
        if (request.Headers != null)
            return request.Headers["X-Requested-With"] == "XMLHttpRequest";
        return false;
    }

but the function always return false

my jquery code:

            $("ul.menu a").click(function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            var url = $(this).attr("href");
            $('#main-container').load(url);
        });

Can you see from your browser if the request header contains X-Requested-With? Is the url you are loading from the same domain as the page that is loaded on the browser? — rino.batin, Jun 05 '17 at 13:34

The issue was in the selector, since it was wrong e.preventDefault doesn't work and the request continues normally, that's why it will never be ajax request.
