Answer 1

You can use the FileContentResult class.

        var contentType = "text/xml";         var content = "<content>Your content</content>";         var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content);         var result = new FileContentResult(bytes, contentType);         result.FileDownloadName = "myfile.xml";         return result;
