如何通过Asp.net WebAPI中的异常过滤器传递内容？

我的问题是：

1)我似乎无法将错误转发给HttpContent

2)我不能使用CreateContent扩展方法,因为context.Response.Content.CreateContent上不存在

这里的例子似乎只提供StringContent,我希望能够将内容作为JsobObject传递：
http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/exception-handling

public class ServiceLayerExceptionFilter : ExceptionFilterAttribute
    {
        public override void OnException(HttpActionExecutedContext context)
        {
            if (context.Response == null)
            {                
                var exception = context.Exception as ModelValidationException;

                if ( exception != null )
                {
                    var modelState = new ModelStateDictionary();
                    modelState.AddModelError(exception.Key,exception.Description);

                    var errors = modelState.SelectMany(x => x.Value.Errors).Select(x => x.ErrorMessage);

                    // Cannot cast errors to HttpContent??
                    // var resp = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest) {Content = errors};
                    // throw new HttpResponseException(resp);

                    // Cannot create response from extension method??
                    //context.Response.Content.CreateContent
                }
                else
                {
                    context.Response = new HttpResponseMessage(context.Exception.ConvertToHttpStatus());
                }                
            }

            base.OnException(context);
        }

    }
