  Throw web API exceptions to the client

  Jan 26, 2013 04:32 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  While developing WCF services , we will use fault exceptions to throw exceptions to the client as a practice. What is the best practice to throw exceptions in WEB API ? What is the best way to handle WEB API exceptions at client side.

  In Web API, the errors & exceptions are handled through HTTP response codes. Please refer to this detailed article about error handling in Web API

  Also, while not exhaustive, this might be a helpgul guid for the type of status codes you need to think about in your various action methods.
