How can I create an http response from scratch?

Question

I have code that returns an http response, but it also includes the content of the page. How can I create a response from scratch so it won't include anything except what I put in it?

My code now:

GCheckout.AutoGen.NotificationAcknowledgment response = new GCheckout.AutoGen.NotificationAcknowledgment();
response.serialnumber = serialNumber;
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(GCheckout.Util.EncodeHelper.Serialize(response));
HttpContext.Current.Response.StatusCode = 200;

I hope this answers your question msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httpresponse.aspx — HatSoft
@MichaelLiu aspx. There's no form there. it's in a callback url. — ispiro
But right now the HTTP response includes the content of the .aspx too? — Michael Liu
@MichaelLiu Well actually now that I checked again - it includes the content of the page's master page. (What I'm trying to solve is - stackoverflow.com/questions/11177384/… - perhaps it's failing because of extra stuff in the response.) — ispiro

After you've set the status code and written out the response content, call HttpContext.Current.Response.End() to stop the execution of the current request.
