Title
Body
In my web API using the MVC 4 Web API framework, if there is an exception I'm throwing a new HttpResponseException : if (!Int32.TryParse(id, out userId)) throw new HttpResponseException(Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Invalid id")); This returns an object to the client: {"message":"Invalid id"} . I want to return a more detailed object: { "status":-1, "substatus":3, "message":"Could not find user" } How would I go about this? Is the best way to serialize my error object and set it in the response message? I've looked into ModelStateDictionary and came up with this, but it's not a clean output: var msd = new ModelStateDictionary(); msd.AddModelError("status", "-1"); msd.AddModelError("substatus", "3"); msd.AddModelError("message", "invalid stuff"); throw new HttpResponseException(Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, msd));
