ASP.NET Core equivalent of ASP.NET MVC 5's HttpException

Question

In ASP.NET MVC 5 you could throw a HttpException with a HTTP code and this would set the response like so:

throw new HttpException((int)HttpStatusCode.BadReq         


        

Answer 1

Starting from ASP.NET Core 3 you can use ActionResult to return HTTP status code:

[HttpGet("{id}")]
[ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
[ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status404NotFound)]
public ActionResult GetByItemId(int id)
{
...
    if (result == null)
    {
        return NotFound();
    }

    return Ok(result);
}
