How to return 500 internal server error to class response

Question

Hi all,
Am having Employee class inthat there are two properties
1. Emp name
2. Empid
Am going to insert the details in db and returning employee class as response
Public async Task save data(employee request)
{
Try
{
Return await insertasync(request);
}
Catch(exception ex)
{
Return new employee();
}
Above codes return always 200 success code even if error occurs
How can I return 500 error response to the method
Can anyone let me know

To return a 500 error response in your code, you can modify the catch block to throw an exception with an appropriate HTTP status code. Here's an example:
public async Task SaveData(Employee request)
{
try
{
return await InsertAsync(request);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Throw an exception with HTTP status code 500 (Internal Server Error)
throw new Exception("An error occurred while saving the data.", ex);
}
}
