Using dynamic or ExpandoObject is a breeze to dynamic data WebAPIs, but when serializing to XML, it can cause a brain damage sometimes :)
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web.Http.Filters;

namespace WebAPIProject.Filters
{
    public class ExceptionHandlingAttribute : ExceptionFilterAttribute
    {
        public override void OnException(HttpActionExecutedContext context)
        {
            //Log Critical errors

            var httpResponseMessage = new HttpResponseMessage() { ReasonPhrase = context.Exception == null ? string.Empty : context.Exception.Message };
            context.Response = httpResponseMessage;

            //throw new HttpResponseException(httpResponseMessage);
        }
    }
}
