Not able to show HttpStatusCode.Created status code

I am not able to show status code & Example value if method return type is HttpStatusCode.Created on swagger ui. It’s working fine for return type HttpStatusCode.Ok. This is my controller and Example value class

In PersonController.cs

 public class PersonController : ApiController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        [Route("api/Person/save")]
        [SwaggerResponseExample(HttpStatusCode.Created, typeof(PersonResponseExample))]
        public HttpResponseMessage PostenericPerson(PersonRequest personRequest)
        {
            var result = 1;// "Created";
            return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created, result);
        }
    }

In PersonResponseExample.cs

 internal class PersonResponseExample : IExamplesProvider
    {
        public object GetExamples()
        {
            return new PersonResponse
            {
                Id = 123,
                Title = Title.Dr,
                FirstName = "John",
                LastName = "Doe",
                Age = 27,
                Income = null
            };
        }
    }

This is the output i want to get i have mark in red.

Please let me know am i missing anything.

I just did a quick google, and this will get rid of the unwanted 200 response, and now the example is displayed fine for the 201:

[HttpPost]
[Route("api/Person")]
[SwaggerResponseRemoveDefaults]
[SwaggerResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created, "Created", typeof(PersonResponse))]
[SwaggerResponseExample(HttpStatusCode.Created, typeof(PersonResponseExample))]
public HttpResponseMessage Created(PersonRequest personRequest)

I had a look at your example. Your syntax is incorrect, it should be like this:

[HttpPost]
[Route("api/Person/savecreted")]
       
[SwaggerResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created, "Created", typeof(PersonResponse))]
[SwaggerResponseExample(HttpStatusCode.Created, typeof(PersonResponseExample))]
public HttpResponseMessage SavePersonCreated(PersonRequest personRequest)
{

With that syntax, it IS working, as the Swagger document does contain the correct example for the 201 response:

"/api/Person/savecreted": {
	"post": {
		"tags": ["Person"],
		"operationId": "Person_SavePersonCreated",
		"consumes": ["application/json", "text/json", "application/xml", "text/xml", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],
		"produces": ["application/json", "text/json", "application/xml", "text/xml"],
		"parameters": [{
				"name": "personRequest",
				"in": "body",
				"required": true,
				"schema": {
					"$ref": "#/definitions/PersonRequest"
				}
			}
		],
		"responses": {
			"200": {
				"description": "OK",
				"schema": {
					"type": "object"
				}
			},
			"201": {
				"description": "Created",
				"schema": {
					"$ref": "#/definitions/PersonResponse"
				},
				"examples": {
					"application/json": {
						"id": 123,
						"title": 1,
						"firstName": "John",
						"lastName": "Doe",
						"age": 27
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
},

However, the example is NOT showing up in swagger-ui. I forgot about that, but this is a Known issue and already documented in my project’s readme section under Known Issues.

Although you can add a response examples for each HTTP status code (200, 400, 404 etc), and they will appear in the swagger.json, they will not display correctly. This is due to an bug in swagger-ui. Issue 9

Just so you know, the 201 example should be here:
