How to return HTTP 500 from ASP.NET Core RC2 Web Api?

Question

Back in RC1, I would do this:

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Post([FromBody]string something)
{    
    try{
        // ...
    }
    catch(Exception e)
            


        

Answer 1

return StatusCode((int)HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, e);

Should be used in non-ASP.NET contexts (see other answers for ASP.NET Core).

HttpStatusCode is an enumeration in System.Net.
