Right-click on "Index" and select "Add View...".
Step 5
Name the view and select "Empty (without model)" as the template.
Click on the "Add" button.
Step 6
Add a title to the index page.
Step 7
Create a httpstatuscoderesult method in the home controller, it returns a HTTP response status code and description. Here we return the "InternalServerError" status code.
Step 8
Create a link to call the httpStatusCodeResult method.
Step 9
Run the project, click on "Http Status Code" and you can see the defined message with HTTP response status code 500.0.
Step 10
Now let's see an example of HttpUnauthorizedResult.
HttpUnauthorizedResult represents the result of an unauthorized HTTP request.
Step 11
Create a link to call the httpUnauthorizedResult method.
Step 12
Run the project, click on "Http Unauthorized" and you can see the defined message with HTTP unauthorized status code.
Step 13
So far we have seen HttpStatusCodeResult and HttpUnauthorizedResult, now let's see an example of HttpNotFoundResult.
HttpNotFoundResult defines an object that is used to indicate that the requested result resource was not found.
Step 14
Create a link to call the httpNotFoundresult method.
Step 15
Run the project, click on "Http Not Found" and you can see the "File Not Found" message with HTTP response status code.
