HandleErrorAttribute is typically used in ASP.NET MVC to handle exceptions. To implement the same way in ASP.NET Web API, you have to implement the ExceptionFilterAttribute . In essence, Exception filters in ASP.NET Web API are similar to those in ASP.NET MVC. However, they are declared in a separate namespace and function separately. In particular, the HandleErrorAttribute class used in MVC does not handle exceptions thrown by Web API controllers. Make sense?
