Creating HTTP Handler

Create a new class library project (I have named it as ChittyHandler)

rename the default class & paste the following code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.SessionState;

namespace ChittyHandler
{
public class clsMyHandler : IHttpHandler,System.Web.SessionState.IRequiresSessionState
{
public bool IsReusable
{
get
{
return true;
}
}

public void ProcessRequest(System.Web.HttpContext objContext)
{
HttpResponse objResponse;
objResponse = objContext.Response;
objResponse.Write(@"This type of file is not served!");
}
}
}

(This is just an example. You may omit inheriting from (or implementing from)
IRequiresSessionState.

Build this class library. With this step you are done with creating HTTP handler
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets see how to consume the HTTP handler in an ASP.NET web application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add the following line in web.config file:


httpHandlers
add verb="*" path="*.js,*.css" type="ChittyHandler.clsMyHandler,ChittyHandler"
httpHandlers

(namespace.classname,assemblyname)


From ASP.NET appln add a reference to the httphandler you have created just now.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats it you are done! Very simple. Isn't it!
