Question

I’m hoping there is a simple solution to this. I’m using MVC 3. I have two projects in my solution, a class library named MyApp.Domain, and an MVC 3 Web application named MyApp.WebUI.

In MyApp.Domain, I have this file:

namespace MyApp.Domain.Test
{
    public class MyHandler : IHttpHandler
    {
        public bool IsReusable
        {
            get { return false; }
        }

        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {
            context.Response.Write("test");
        }
    }
}

In MyApp.WebUI, in the web.config in the root of the project, I have this:

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <httpHandlers>
      <add verb="*" path="*.testhandler" type="MyApp.Domain.Test.MyHandler"/>
    </httpHandlers>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

But if I navigate to http://localhost:52233/test.testhandler, I get a 404 error. I imagine there’s some sort of namespace issue, but I don’t know how to fix it.

Anyone come across this issue?

Try to ignore your URL pattern in the routing. Add this before the default route in the global.asax:

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.testhandler/{*pathInfo}");
