What is the difference between HttpResponseMessage and HttpResponseException

Question

I tried to understand both and write sample code:

 public HttpResponseMessage Get()
 {
     var response = ControllerContext.Request
                                 


        

Answer 1

HttpResponseException derives from Exception and embeds HttpResponseMessage. Since it derives from Exception it can be useful in try-catch scenarios.

Default status code returned by HttpResponseException is HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError.
