Returning a status code not found in HttpStatusCode enumeration

Question

I'm working with ASP.NET MVC 4 and I need to return a status code of 420, which is not found among the HttpStatusCode enumeration values.

Usually it's simple, you do something like:

return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, error);

But what do I do when I don't have an enumeration value for the status code I want?

where you want to return the error in an attribute, filter, action, api acction? — andres descalzo

Figured it out. All you have to do is cast the integer status code to HttpStatusCode:

return Request.CreateResponse((HttpStatusCode) 420, error);

Try with something like this:

return new HttpStatusCodeResult(420,"My message");

More reference on MSDN.

Thanks Daniele, but in my case I need to return something derived from HttpResponseMessage rather than ActionResult. Sorry if that wasn't clear from my question.
