Want C# ASPX page to produce plain text rather than HTML

I have a C# project in Visual Studio that produces an aspx page. The code I am editing is in default.asp.cs. When I build the project a file default.aspx is produced. This file looks something like this: 

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="CSRValidationConnector._Default" %>  
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div> 
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

When I make my web request most of this page comes back.

But I want the page to return only plain text and not any of this HTML. How do I configure things so that nothing is returned except what I add via Response.Write calls in default.aspx.cs?

Response.ContentType is what you are looking for :)

Response.ContentType = "text/plain";

Just remove all the HTML except:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="CSRValidationConnector._Default" %>

and in your codebehind Page_Load do a Response.Write("String")
