Return Custom HTTP Status Code from WebAPI?

Question

You can return the http status code along with the response object using:

 return Ok(responseObject);
 return BadRequest(responseObject);
 return NotFound(responseObject);

But what about you want to return your own custom http status code? 402, 429, 500, 501 etc

Answer 1

return StatusCode(402, responseObject);
return StatusCode(500, responseObject);

Answer 2

Response.StatusCode = 500; // HttpStatusCode.
return responseObject;

OR

Response.StatusCode = StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError; // HttpStatusCode.
return responseObject;
