Question

I have created a http handler fro my Jquery ajax call. which is working fine the jquery call is mentioned below

 $.ajax({
    url: "Services/name.ashx",
    contentType: "text/plain",
    data: {
        CustMobile: a,
        CustName: b,
        CustEmail: c
    },
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    success: function (data) {
        $("#loading").hide();
    },
    error: function () {
        $("#loading").hide();
    }
});

Now my problem is this can I call the name.ashx handler through my code behind. I am using asp.net with C#. I know that it can be called by Response.write(“”) writing the whole script part. Ans also Register Script of page method.
But Is there any way by which I can send request to handler and get back response from the handler using c#.

Thanks.

You can call any http resource from code behind using HttpWebRequest (System.Net namespace)

Sample

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("<YourDomain>/Services/name.ashx?CustMobile=ValueOfA&CustName=ValueOfB&CustEmail=ValueOfC");
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

You need an absolute path but you can get your domain or server url from the HttpContext if you dont want to hardcode the domain
