Returning 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 your own http status code back? 402, 429, 500, 501, etc.

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

OR

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