c# - How to return customer data with HttpResponseMessage -

    httpresponsemessage r = new httpresponsemessage();     r.statuscode = httpstatuscode.ok;     r.reasonphrase = "success"; 

now how pass customer object httpresponsemessage class client side ?

one way return request.createresponse(httpstatuscode.ok, customers);

suppose if not want return response way request.createresponse(httpstatuscode.ok, customers); rather want create instance of httpresponsemessage , initialize few property , return. tell me ow pass customer object httpresponsemessage class client side ?

the simple way should create response based on request:

return request.createresponse(httpstatuscode.ok, customers); 

because under hood, method deal content negotiation don't care much. otherwise, have deal manually below code:

icontentnegotiator negotiator = this.configuration.services.getcontentnegotiator();  contentnegotiationresult result = negotiator.negotiate(     typeof(customer), this.request, this.configuration.formatters);  var response = new httpresponsemessage {     statuscode = httpstatuscode.ok,     content = new objectcontent<customer>(customer,         result.formatter, result.mediatype) };  return response;
