Error Sending XML Response in ASP.NET

I have a listener webpage designed in ASP.Net that receives XML documents then updates a database with the information. The webpage then is supposed to send a response stating whether the file was imported correctly or not as an XML document. However everytime i try to send the respone i get an error stating: "Thread was being aborted." My code is below.

Any ideas?

private void SendResponse(Boolean success, String errMessage)
        {
            XmlDocument outgoingXML = new XmlDocument();
            String payLoadID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
            String curDate = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
 
            try
            {
                if (success == true)
                {
                    outgoingXML.LoadXml("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM \"http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.1.009/cXML.dtd\"><cXML payloadID=\"" + payLoadID + "\" xml:lang=\"en-US\" timestamp=\"" + curDate + "\"><Response><Status code=\"200\" text=\"OK\"/></Response></cXML>");
                }
                else
                {
                    outgoingXML.LoadXml("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM \"http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.1.009/cXML.dtd\"><cXML payloadID=\"" + payLoadID + "\" xml:lang=\"en-US\" timestamp=\"" + curDate + "\"><Response><Status code=\"500\" text=\"" + errMessage.ToString() + "\"/></Response></cXML>");
                }
                Response.Write(outgoingXML.OuterXml);
                Response.End();
            }
            catch (XmlException ex)
            {
                _status = "1;Error : XML Response " + ex.Message.Trim();
                System.IO.File.WriteAllText(_errorFile, _status);
            }
        }

Response.End will always raise threadaborted exception

Instead of Response.End() use
HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest()

Ok thanks praveenvenu that got the Web Page to send the response but instead of just sending the XML portion it is sending the entire page afterwords as well. How do i get it to simply send the XML portion? Below is what the response looks like:

Response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.1.009/cXML.dtd"[]><cXML payloadID="e4d1842b-4281-4d79-a0ff-12e67217072b" xml:lang="en-US" timestamp="1/28/2009 5:08:39 PM"><Response><Status code="200" text="OK" /></Response></cXML>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head><title>

</title></head>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="Four51Import.aspx" id="form1"> <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwULLTE2MTY2ODcyMjlkZI4DYNWGRsHbHVdxtYep8mlSyCZv" />

<div>

</form>
</body>
</html>
