Equivalent of Request.CreateResponse()

What is the equivalent of 

var newOrder = new OrderViewModel()
{

   Id = orderDetails.Id,
   Name = orderDetails.Service.Name,
   .....
};

Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, newOrder);

In this format:

HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();
response.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.OK;
response.ReasonPhrase = "successfully created blablabla";

In the Request.CreateResponse() I can pass an object. How can I do that with HttpResponseMessage?

Want to be able to pass a message (like ReasonPhrase) as well, but can't do that with Request.CreateResponse(). Or I'm missing something.

To pass in an object as response content you can construct ObjectContent<T>:

response.Content = new ObjectContent<OrderViewModel>(newOrder, 
                                         new JsonMediaTypeFormatter())

Other constructors of ObjectContent:
