I have an ActionResult that returns XML for an embedded device. The relevant code is: return Content(someString, "text/xml", Encoding.UTF8); Even though UTF-8 is specified, the resulting XML is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> The ASP.NET MVC is compiled as AnyCPU and runs on a Windows 2008 server.

Hi there, Attempting to use asp.net mvc's Action Result of File. So it would seem that I have to specify a ContentType for the file to be sent to the browser. Currently there is no real limit to what types of files may be sent to the browser in my application, so I can't always assume it will be a "text/pdf", for example. What's the b...
We have a pluggable framework that returns ActionResult objects that render things to a browser. One late breaking requirement is that our plugins should be callable from a regular ASP.NET Web Forms application.

Hi, In a controller action, I am manually sending a form to a remote URL using WebRequest. I successfully receive a WebResponse containing an html page to display.

So in the database I'm storing the path to where the file was saved, but it's quite possible for the file to get deleted out of sync of the database. So in a Controller action I lookup the upload information and perform checks that things are ...

This is the class being returned as ActionResult in the line as posted. Does anyone know why I get the clas...
How do you set the result of an action result to use Post and not Get. I need to redirect the result to an external site that requires the data to be sent using the post method. (Would like to know also how to redirect to another action with a httpverbs.post filter - but not as important for me at this point). ...

I'm running into a strange issue in more than one page of my ASP.NET MVC site. When I POST a form and the Model is NOT valid, I try to return the same view so that I can see the errors - however, instead of the page getting reloaded, I get a pop-up download box that says that the file is in "application/json" format. As you can see fro...

I've managed that without a problem, the ActionResult works fine at runtime but I'm...
