How can I get a reference to an HttpResponse in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

I'm calling a third-party library that takes a System.Web.HttpResponse. I see I have a HttpResponseBase, but not HttpResponse like in web forms.

Is there a way to get the HttpResponse? Using MVC 3.

[Edit] : I'm trying to do this in a controller method. Also corrected casing.

Answer 1

If you need to interact with systems which take the non-mockable types, you can get access to the current HttpContext via the static property System.Web.HttpContext.Current. The HttpResponse is just hanging off of there via the Response property.

Answer 2

In mvc application you can use HttpContext.ApplicationInstance.Response.This helped me for getting the HttpResponse in MVC Application.
