HttpHandler is class that implement the IHttpHandler and IHttpAsyncHandler interfaces. This section describes how to create and register HttpHandler and provides examples of a synchronous handler, an asynchronous handler, and a handler factory.

First, you need to create a classlibrary HttpHandlerDLLVB. The code as follows:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Web; using System.Web.SessionState; namespace HttpHandlerDLL { public class MyHttpHander : IHttpHandler,IReadOnlySessionState { public bool IsReusable { get { return true; } } public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { context.Response.Write("<h1><b>HttpHandler Test</b></h1>"); context.Session["Test"] = "Invoke a session in HttpHandler."; context.Response.Write(context.Session["Test"]+"<br>"); context.Response.Write("<a href='HttpHandlerCsharp.aspx'><b>return</b></a>"); } } }

The flow for the code behind page is as follows.

using System; using System.Data; using System.Configuration; using System.Web; using System.Web.Security; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts; using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { } }
