ASP.NET Custom 404 Returning 200 OK Instead of 404 Not Found

Question

After trying to setup my site for Google Webmaster Tools I found that my Custom ASP.NET 404 page was not returning the 404 status code. It displayed the correct custom page

You can use the below code:

 Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = True
 Response.Status = "404 Not Found"
 Response.AddHeader("Location", "{your-path-to-your-404-page}")
