Ganesan C · Answer

If you are developing the API then use status code and description to response body. public ActionResult GetData() { try { // Your logic return new ContentResult() { Content = "" , //Your Success Message Body StatusCode = ( int )HttpStatusCode.OK }; } catch (Exception ex) { return new ContentResult() { Content = "" , //Your Failture or Exception Message Body StatusCode = ( int )HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError // Or use any other status code }; } }

you can just use the middleware. public class ErrorController : Controller { [Route( "Error/{StatusCode}" )] public IActionResult Index( int StatusCode) { switch (StatusCode) { case 404: ViewBag.Message = "404 error" ; break ; case 500: ViewBag.Message = "500 error" ; break ; } return View(); // index view } [AllowAnonymous] [Route( "Error" )] public IActionResult Error() { // Retrieve the exception Details var exceptionHandlerPathFeature = HttpContext.Features.Get (); ViewBag.ExceptionPath = exceptionHandlerPathFeature.Path; ViewBag.ExceptionMessage = exceptionHandlerPathFeature.Error.Message; ViewBag.StackTrace = exceptionHandlerPathFeature.Error.StackTrace; return View( "Error" ); // error view } } Error view Exception Details: class = "alert alert-danger" > Exception Path @ViewBag.ExceptionPath class = "alert alert-danger" > Exception Message @ViewBag.ExceptionMessage class = "alert alert-danger" > Exception Stack Trace @ViewBag.StackTrace index view @ViewBag.Message // middleware setup public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env) { if (env.IsDevelopment()) { app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage(); } else { app.UseExceptionHandler( "/Error" ); } app.UseStatusCodePagesWithRedirects( "/Error/{0}" ); app.UseStaticFiles(); app.UseMvc(configureRoutes => { configureRoutes.MapRoute( "default" , "{Controller=Home}/{Action=Index}/{id?}" ); }); }
