What is Outcome.NET?

Outcome is the ultimate result wrapper! It's great for those awkward moments when you need to return a value, but you might also need to return a list of validation messages, warnings, or a success bit.

It's a fluent, expressive, easy-to-learn spin on the Notification pattern, with a few careful tweaks.

Outcome is particularly useful in MVC projects that do a lot of AJAX calls. If you serialize Outcome objects back to the client, you end up with a standard interface for most of your callbacks, and that opens doors for reuse on the JavaScript side.
