I am trying to register a custom HttpHandler in the web.config file. MSDN’s example

  • 0

I am trying to register a custom HttpHandler in the web.config file. MSDN’s example shows an entry that is commented out…um which doesn’t work so well. When I uncomment I receive a Could not load file or assembly 'HttpModule.cs' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. error. The file name is HttpModule.cs and the class name is MyHttpModule. There is no explicit namespace yet.

<httpModules>
     <add name="MyHttpModule" type="MyHttpModule, HttpModule" />
<httpModules>

I am sure I am overlooking the obvious. Do I need to specify the file path somewhere? Thanks in advance.

    I am still learning much of the terminology and needed it spelled out for me. In case any of you need the same…

    As an example if:

    • The base class name and project name is TestSite
    • The namespace my class is in is BusinessLogic
    • The class name is PageAuthorization

    in the Web.config file…

    <configuration> 
 <system.web> 
  <httpModules> 
   <add type= "BusinessLogic.PageAuthorization, TestSite" name="PageAuthorization" /> 
  </httpModules> 
 </system.web> 
</configuration>

    In my case I had to mark my class with IHttpModule. The definition of the class would look like:

    public class PageAuthorization : IHttpModule
