ASP.NET MVC : how do I return 304 "Not Modified" status?

Question

ASP.NET MVC 3.0, IIS 7, .NET 4 I have an action that returns data that seldom changes (almost static). Is there an easy way to: - return 304 "Not Modified" from action; - include "Last-Modified" time stamp in the response. I use `return Content('my data');` for action result. Basically I want an easy way to do what is talked about in this article : http://weblogs.asp.net/jeff/archive/2009/07/01/304-your-images-from-a-database.aspx

Accepted Answer

(Very!) late answer but this question pops up near the top in search engine results so it might be useful to future people landing here.

Alternative for part 1:

```
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(304, "Not Modified");
```
