xml file won't display unless it has xml extenstion

[toptomato]

hi folks
i am trying to generate RSS (xml output) through asp.net
I perfer the page to have the aspx extention.
The page (rss.aspx) out puts xml by means of:
Response.Write("<<proper rss xml here>>");
Response.End();

however in the browser (both ie and netscape) it doesn't display the out the way xml is supposed to be outputed in a browser.

However, if i do view source and copy everything and paste it in a text file with xml extention it displays in the browser fine.

Any ideas
thanks

Try setting the content type:

Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
