I want to return a View() from an action, and the resulting response should have a content type of text/xml instead of the default text/html.

I have tried the following, with no success:

Response.ContentType = "text/xml"; 
return View();

I know that you can specify the content type by returning ContentResult, but that doesn’t render my View.

I’m hoping I don’t need to render the view to a string then use return Content(), so I’m probably overlooking some easy way.
