Suggested Directory Structure/placement Of ASHX Files?
Mar 18, 2011
I'm looking much more closely at the idea of universal conventions over configuration for my projects (versus 'home-rolled' conventions, or grabbing from a variety of conventions).However, I'm not seeing much, if anything, about the preferred location of ASHX files in, for example, ASP.NET MVC projects (as well as Web forms projects).
Is there a recommended directory structure for these? Perhaps there's a published specification with a much larger directory structure accounted for?My personal convention has been to place these within a top-level Handlers directory, but I honestly haven't personally seen any other projects that really do this.I suppose, depending upon what it does (for example, generating an image), that one could argue this might go into the Content directory, but it seems this directory is generally used for static files.(Aside: One could argue that ASHX files are not needed in MVC projects, but based on questions posted here, it appears ASHX files still have their place in MVC projects.)EDIT: Ignore MVC projects, since I'm suggesting that as one example. How about Web Forms, then?

I have a large directory structure with JavaScript, images, etc. that depend on each other. I would like to encapsulate it all into a DLL so I only have to reference one thing and not have multiple copies of all these files across projects.
Because the files depend on each other, I'm thinking I can create an IHttpModule that registers a route to accept URLs such as /MyEmbeddedDir/subdir/file.js. Anything in MyEmbeddedDir would then be handled by a custom IHttpHandler that does the correct mapping. Each web application would then need to reference the DLL and add the module and handler to web.config. Does this seem reasonable?Also, is there an easier way to embed/reference the files than to set the build action to embedded resource and add [assembly: WebResource(...)] to each file (there are dozens!)?Edit: If I'm not using WebResource.axd then I shouldn't need to add [assembly: WebResource(...)]

I'm building a site that can possibly have millions of users (yes ambitious!). Each user can upload an image or two for his/her profile. How would you architect the directories to support this type of thing? I was thinking of having a users subfolder off the root dir where each user will have their own sub-dir that corresponds to their userId created at registration time. I could then upload their profile pics to their corresponding sub-directory under the users dir. Seems straightforward but am I missing anything? Can I have a million sub-dirs under the user dir? NTFS supports it so my guess is YES.

Can you point me to a url for the proper directory structure to create for a new website?I can create a website project and add class library projects to the solution to create a fully functional website.My grey area is that I need to zip up the web site solution and hand it over to the client.I'd like to make sure that I hand over a solution with the most proper directory structure.I'll run you through a scenario:
1. Select File > New > Web Site > ASP.NET Web Site from the main menu
2. Save with a path of C:ProjectsTestWebSite
3. Right-click the solution in VS and select Add > New Project > Class Library
4. The new class library is added with an automatic path of C:ProjectsTestWebSite (2)MyClassLib1
It seems like there should be a way to create a better structure for this but I'm just not following the correct process. Can you point me to a url with instructions for managing a proper structure for this?

I'm working on an application which will store around 50.000 images within it's first year and another 75.000 in it's second. Images can come from Galleries, news images, article images and profile images. So I want to give each image a GUID and store the GUID in the database.As for the directory structure i was thinking of something like this:
~/Upload/Images/F2/50/F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301.jpg
So I'm using the first 4 characters of the GUID as my directory structure to spread images a bit more evenly between directories. Now I have some questions about this approach:Is it considered good practice to store all different kinds of images together rather then use ~/Images/Upload/Profiles, ~/Images/Upload/Articles etc.I'm also storing thumbnails and they have a different GUID obviously so the thumbs will not be in the same folder as the original and somehow that doesnt give me a good feeling but I guess it should not matter but.Same goes for Galleries, I'm used to store galleries in folders like ~/Images/Upload/Galleries/12 , and now all the images from a gallery will be scattered around in different subfolders, is this a big performance hit?Do you guys have any other ideas for directory structures?
As you can probably see I'm a bit afraid to use this approach but since there will be lots of images maybe even more then the numbers i gave i have to let the control go I think :)

I have ASP.NET page with an iframe on it for displaying some pdf reports on this page. When user select the report type from dropdown, I add the needed for report data into the ASP.NET Session and change the attribute "src" of the iframe to .ashx module address which generates the .pdf report.But if Adobe glug-in for viewing .pdf files in browser is not installed, browser proposes to save report file and name of the proposed file is "HandlerName.ashx".But I want to make the browser proposed to save the file with the name "Report.pdf".

on my current contract, they're telling me that they want to store and upload files outside the website structure - same drive, but a different path (like C:Files)
They also want a page inside the website to list them - that part I can do - I use System.IO to list all the files in that folder, and put an HTML hyperlink to each one of them.
However, when you click on the files, they don't open.
The boss tells me this can be done by somehow making this outside folder a share and using impersonation - but I don't get it.

We have a whole bunch of WML pages that are served out using ASHX files and we've had no problems with them. However, someone has just got a Windows 7 Phone and when they browse to one of these pages they get:
Can't download file! Windows Phone doesn't support .ashx files Is there some IIS configuration that we need to do to make this work?

I am developing an ASP.NET 3.5 web application and I have a folder in the project which contains a list of documents which could be pdf or any of the MS office 2003 or 2007 supported file formats. I would like to display these files to my users as thumbnails (just like the way windows displays files). And when the user clicks on a file it has to prompt them to either save the file or open in the browser itself. How can I achieve this?

I have a master page that links to a CSS. I have read several blog posts regarding "liquid design" in an attempt to place my footer below the content. I have not been able to make this work thus far. Here is a snippet of code. The footer, which is defined as an element in the linked CSS, contimues to reside above the two columns. I think that the problem lies in the placement of my <div> tags but I believe that I have tried all possible variations and still the footer remains near the top of my page.

What is the best place for javascript that is specific to a partial view? For example, if I have a partial view (loaded via ajax call) with some divs and I want to turn those divs into an accordian, would it be better put the $("#section").accordion() in script tags inside of the partial view, or in a .js file in the function that retrieves that partial view and inserts it into the DOM?
Obviously, common methods I will be keeping in a .js file, however I am more talking about javascript very specific to the partial view itself. Most things I find on the net seem to say to put all javascript into a separate .js but nothing addresses the idea of partial views.
