How do you set the content type for a WebMatrix/Razor Response?

Question

I'd like to return some XML instead of HTML in my WebMatrix cshtml file? How do you change the content type header?

Answer 1

Use the Response.ContentType property at the top of your .cshtml file then include the XML in the content of the view:

@{ 
   Response.ContentType = "application/xml";
}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
    <Dial>415-123-4567</Dial>
</Response>

Answer 2

At the top of your Razor file, set the ContentType of the Response object:

@{
  Response.ContentType = "application/xml";
}
... xml here ...
