View 7 RepliesHow To Redirect from httphandler(.ashx) to an (.aspx) page in the same application ?
[URL]
can some expert confirm better approach
I'm trying to take an existing bunch of code that was previously on a full .aspx page, and do the same stuff in a .ashx handler.
The code created an HtmlTable object, added rows and cells to those rows, then added that html table the .aspx's controls collection, then added it to a div that was already on the page.
I am trying to keep the code in tact but instead of putting the control into a div, actually generate the html and I'll return that in a big chunk of text that can be called via AJAX client-side.
HtmlTable errors out when I try to use the InnerHtml property (says it isn't supported), and when I try RenderControl, after making first a TextWriter and next an HtmlTextWriter object, I get the error that Page cannot be null.
In an ASP.NET application, I need to do some changes on every CSS file sent.So I created an HttpHandler (inside the app itself), added:
<add verb="*" path="*.css" type="MyWebsite.CssTestHandler,MyWebsite"/>
to Web.config in system.web/httpHandlers and modified the handler like this:
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
context.Response.Clear();
text.Response.Write("Hello World");
context.Response.End();
}
I got an ashx file to create an image. I am referencing it via web.config like this:
<add verb="*" path="captcha.ashx" validate="false" type="eVoila.Security.Captcha.CaptchaImageHandler, eVoila" />
My handler looks like that:

Actually the handler never gets called. I already searched the forums and tried some tips and hints. But nothing of that worked. Try to call the url via[URL]

I have an aspx page that I want to convert to an HttpHandler, but I'm struggling withewState that's been used in the code behind of the aspx page
View 2 RepliesI have created a HttpHandler to be used with SWFUpload to upload images to the server. This upload is done in an administration backend so users need to be authenticated to upload images.Initially I made the whole administration area deny annonymous users but because of the way SWFUpload appears to work it wouldn't work correctly with Forms authentication and would return a 302 status code.I had thought it would be possible to make the location of my handler public in Web.config and use context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated in my handler to determine if the user is logged in.
View 3 RepliesHow can I tell from within an ASP.NET HttpHandler if it is executing because of a call to Server.Execute("myHandler.ashx")or because of the user linking directly to myHandler.ashx? (Besides using a querystring parameter).
View 2 RepliesAs i know that asp.net fulfill all the requirements for any web application but what are the ground rules for creating custom httphandler and httpmodule in asp.net.Edit:For example I want to fetch image from database then what i should i use httphandler or normally read image from database.If httphandler then why?

Can a httphandler in .net return a value? If yes how?
View 2 RepliesThere is an ashx file containing "ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)" method which gets triggered automatically. When and how does it get fired?Another question, How can I get the current QueryString when I am inside this file? When I type "context.Request.QueryString" it says it's null or empty although the address have arguments.
View 1 RepliesI've got a simple ASHX handler that returns an dynamically generated image; the image is generated from a custom created class, and an object belonging to this class is passed to the handler using Session (I'd rather avoid using QueryString).The handler is used as the URL of an image on a ASP form which is very simple: a drop down list, a button and an image. Basically, depending on what the user selects from the list, the appropriate image will be generated once the button is pressed.
At the start the actual image has it's Visible property set to false; I don't want the handler to display anything before the data is all there.Once the button is pressed, the required Session parameter is added containing the necessary object, and the page is refreshed using Server.Transfer. When the Page_load method detects that the Session parameter has been correctly set, it sets the Visible parameter on the image to true.After that the handler fires up and generates the image.
So far so good... However, if the user now picks something different from the list and presses the button, despite the correct object being passed in the Session, the image won't be updated. In fact, the handler won't even fire up (if I put a breakpoint in there). I need to close the browser window and reopen it for it to work.Any ideas what could be the cause of such behaviour?I suspect the answer is very simple, and I just don't know something fundamental about ASP (or handlers)...
In my web application I use an ashx file to write a file to the browser. I've noticed that there's no compression over the .ashx file, but only over my .aspx files.
Is it possible to compress .ashx? And if it is possible, how?
Currently I use global.asax to handle the compression:
<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO.Compression" %>
<script runat="server">
void Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpApplication app = sender as HttpApplication;.......
As you can see only files which inherit from 'Page' are compressed, and my ashx file is not of type Page. So I added a condition and now it works just fine:
if (!(app.Context.CurrentHandler is Page ||
app.Context.CurrentHandler.GetType().Name == "SyncSessionlessHandler" ||
app.Context.CurrentHandler is ViewMht // This is the type I had to add
) ||
app.Request["HTTP_X_MICROSOFTAJAX"] != null)
return;
What is the Difference betweeen axd and ashx handlers.
View 3 RepliesMy web site has a handler (FileDownload.ashx) that deals with all file download requests. I've recently migrated my site to ASP.Net 4.0, and it now uses routing extensively. Everything works fine when dealing with page requests (aspx), but it's not working with my handler - I encounter the following error:
Type '<snip>.Handlers.FileDownload' does not inherit from 'System.Web.UI.Page'.
This makes sense, as routing is only implemented in the page. So, my question is, what steps do I need to take to be able to use routing and my ASHX together? I want to be able to extract RouteData.Values from the url.
public class FileDownload : IHttpHandler
{
}
sitemap is at: http://localhost/scirranew/sitemap.ashx
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="SiteMap" %>

I have created webpage and I am calling it from Jquery function. Technically I am {info} is image button and I am replacing with it with aspx
.replace("${info}","/_layouts/webpage.aspx");
The web page is opening in new browser window. Is there any way that I could make it as pop up whereever I can place in the page. That is get rid off the toolbar address bar. It should look like a pop up.
So I am working on a project in ASP.NET MVC 2 with C#.I have a View with a file upload but this is a flash component (.swf).The result of the file upload (the storing of the file and processing of data in the database) is done in a HTTPHandler.I would like the HTTPHandler to send information to my active controller.
Is there a way to get the controller that was used to load the view? I'm having problems finding information about it online.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to pass an exception to an HttpHandler by doing the following:
catch (Exception e)
{
byte[] exceptionData;
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter(null, new StreamingContext(StreamingContextStates.Persistence));
formatter.Serialize(stream, e);
exceptionData = stream.ToArray();
WebClient client = new WebClient();
Uri handler = new Uri(ApplicationUri, "TransferException.axd");
#if DEBUG
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(BypassAllCertificateStuff);
#endif
try
{
client.UploadData(handler, exceptionData);
}
catch (WebException) { }
}
EDIT
I am getting the following exception on the client.UploadData() line.
"Content-Length or Chunked Encoding cannot be set for an operation that does not write data."
EDIT
Even if I change my call to be client.UploadString(location, "THIS IS A TEST!"); it still fails with the same exception.
I have an website in IIS 6.0 (windows 2003). Inside that I had configured another application (As IIS Application).
Now, When I uncommend a "add verb" tag in main web.config file, the webservice inside the application throws "404 file not found exception" Is there anything which I need to update in child web.config?
