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

presumably Ok, BadRequest etc implement some interface that you can also implement in a userland class and return an instance of that class? — Steve

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

OR

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