How to return empty result in MVC

I have been surprised how many questions has been on stack overflow about this. And therefore I have decided to create a blog post about this.

 

Short answer is:

 

return EmptyResult();

 

Full example code:

 

 public ActionResult Empty()
    {
        return new EmptyResult();
    }
