Returning http status code from Web Api controller

Question

I\'m trying to return a status code of 304 not modified for a GET method in a web api controller.

The only way I succeeded was something like this:

p

You can also do the following if you want to preserve the action signature as returning User:

public User GetUser(int userId, DateTime lastModifiedAtClient) 

If you want to return something other than 200 then you throw an HttpResponseException in your action and pass in the HttpResponseMessage you want to send to the client.
