What is the ContentType of Response ?

[ad]

I create a MemoryStream form a dataset:

MemoryStream sm= new MemoryStream();
dsHealth.WriteX ml(sm);

I use
Response.Write( )
to send this XML MemoryStream as file to client.

What is the ContentType of Response I must set?

If you were sending XML to be inserted into HTML, you'd set the ContentType :

Response.Conten tType = "text/xml";
Response.Conten tEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;

But, since what you want to do is send a file, not render it, you need to serialize the objects
to a memory stream and then send the bytes in the memory stream buffer over the TCP connection.

Thanks,
I still have a question.
What is the difference if I use
Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/xml";

By default, they are the same but in theory, you could (on Windows) bind a
different clsid to them, so when the content type would be application/xml
you could open XmlSpy (for instance) and when it is text/xml IE.
