IHttpActionResult and helper methods in ASP.NET Core

May 2, 2023 by Tarik

IHttpActionResult is now effectively IActionResult, and to return an Ok with a return object, you’d use return new ObjectResult(...);

So effectively something like this:

public IActionResult Get(int id)
{
    if (id == 1) return HttpNotFound("not found!");
    return new ObjectResult("value: " + id);
}

Here’s a good article with more detail:
