Read and return a file content in plain asp.net?

[hackert]

I want to create a simple service so that other applications can poll a url, for instance\[code\]http://IP/serverstatus.aspx\[/code\]And get status in a single line, no "html". But how do I output that, Im currently reading a file in the file's c# code just fine, and its the contents on this file that is going to be outputted.
