Answer 1

In your controller you'd return an HttpStatusCodeResult like this...

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SomeMethod(...your method parameters go here...)
{
   // todo: put your processing code here

   //If not using MVC5
   return new HttpStatusCodeResult(200);

   //If using MVC5
   return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.OK);  // OK = 200
}
