Litium version: 7

Hi,  
In Litium 7, I am using Litium.Studio.AddOns.PriceAgents  
in GoogleShopping plugin I want to return response as xml,  
I tried setting  
public string ContentType  
{  
get { return “text/xml”; }  
}  
also tried application/xml, but I am getting the below error in response,

This page contains the following errors:  
error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty  
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

If any one has done this, please let me know.

or should I implement a custom logic in Render method.

The default implementation of the Google Shopping feed in Litium 7 generates a XML document, have you made a custom implementation to suit a specific need?

To create an own price agent feed you need to implement all the properties and methods on the `Litium.Web.Products.PriceAgents.IPriceAgent` interface.

Not sure if you building your own Google Shopping Feed or what you are doing. Litium is pre-build with a Google Shopping Feed that can be used out of the box.
