Setting Response.StatusCode in View in ASP.NET MVC2

Question

I've just converted a project from MVC1 to MVC2. In the MVC1 project the HTTP status code was being set in some of the views. These views are now generating this exception:

Server cannot set status after HTTP headers have been sent.

What has changed from MVC1 to MVC2 to cause this and is there any way to fix this?

I would recommend you modifying this behavior. – Darin Dimitrov Jun 07 '10 at 05:57 — Darin Dimitrov, Jun 07 '10 at 05:57

I would argue that you shouldn't be setting any status codes in the views at all. Is this not the role of the controller at most?

Generally I would agree with you but this was a case where I was using the view from multiple locations in the Controllers and wanted to apply the DRY principal so I only wanted to set the Status Codes in one location. – Guy Jun 08 '10 at 13:23
