The Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Controller base class doesn't have an equivalent of BadRequest(), Ok(), NoContent(), etc. for returning HTTP 500 status codes.
Why can't we do?
try{
oops();
}
catch(Exception ex){
//some handling
return InternalServerError(ex);
}
I know can do return StatusCode(500);, but we are trying to be more consistent with our HTTP codes and would like to know if there is something more consistent with Ok() for returning a 500 code?
ASP.NET Core 2.x doesn't have InternalServerError method. Instead you can include the following library.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
And then use the following code.
return new StatusCodeResult(StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError);
Or if you want to add the exception along with the response, try the following code
var result = StatusCode(StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError, exception);
return result;
return StatusCode(StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError);If just like me you didn't understand where the StatusCode method is coming from in Karim's answer, this code will work just as well:
var errorObjectResult = new ObjectResult(exceptionMessage);
errorObjectResult.StatusCode = StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError;
return errorObjectResult;
Response.StatusCode = 500;
