    How to configure ashx

    I've created an ashx handler inside a Class project - heres the structure

    Class Project > Service > MyHandler.ashx

    Service = folder and MyHandler.ashx is an ashx file with some code.

    I would like to be able to visit this ashx from a browser using the URL http://localhost/handlers/myhandler.ashx

    I created a node within umbraco but not sure how i register the handler and create the above URL?

    Hi J

    If you create the .ashx in your website project, then the handler will be hit if you request the path to that file, without configuration.

    The logic/code the handler then executes could then be called from the class library project

        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
        context.Response.Write("Hello World");

        var mycustomservice = new MyClassLibrary.SuperDoSomethingService();
        var stuff = mycustomservice.DoOrGetSomething();
        //etc
    }

    With regards to handlers, I am not sure what you exactly mean with "I created a node within Umbraco".

    In order to call your .ashx handler, Umbraco should not process your handlers path the default way (searching for a content node).

    To prevent Umbraco processing that path, you need to add it to the umbracoReservedPath in the web.config file:

    <appSettings>
    <add key="umbracoReservedPaths" value="~/umbraco,~/install/,~/handlers/" />
