What is the assembly name to use for new ASHX files

I am trying to add a Generic Handler (ASHX) to my web site solution. In
order to do that I have to specifiy an assembly name in the web.config file.
But since 2.0 web sites are no longer pre-compiled I get an error when
trying to load the first page.
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET,POST" path="*.angel" type="Namespace.MyHandler" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
I get the following error:
Line 51: <system.web>
Line 52: <httpHandlers>
Line 53: <add verb="GET,POST" path="*.angel"
type="Namespace.MyHandler" />
Line 54: </httpHandlers>
Line 55: </system.web>
- PhilippWhat is the error ?
You did not include it.

Sorry about that:

I've also tried to create another class library (HandlerLib) project that
contains the ASHX file and then reference that assembly from my web site
project (which promptly adds HandlerLib.dll to the Bin directory). When I
then use the assembly name HandlerLib in my web.config file it still doesn't
work. Maybe I need to put it in the GAC?

BTW, I am using VS.NET 2005 B2 in case that makes any difference.

Hi, Philipp.
If all you want to do is add a specific extension
to the pages which are served by your server, use this :
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET, HEAD, POST, DEBUG" path="*.angel"
type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory"/>
</httpHandlers>
<compilation>
<buildProviders>
<add extension=".angel" type="System.Web.Compilation.PageBuildProvider" />
</buildProviders>
</compilation>
and map the extension .angel to aspnet_isapi.dll in the
Application's configuration section in the Internet Service Manager.
That will cause ASP.NET to process the .angel extension
in the exact same way it processes files with the .aspx extension.
That should be enough for your needs.
If it isn't, post what you want to do with your .angel extension,
that can't be done in an aspx file.
See my custom extension .juan running at : http://asp.net.do/test/version.juan...asp.net.do/faq/

Using an ASPX page was my first attempt. However, I haven't found a way to
remove the <htm>, <head>, and <body> tags from the response that is
generated! Well, guess what - I tried again and now it works!
So my immediate problem is solved, but I still wonder how to add an ASHX
handler to a 2.0 web site. I think having an second assembly which contains
the handler code is probably correct. Now why it doesn't get loaded then
added as a reference to the project (and is put in the \bin directory) is
strange to me. Does this assembly have to be signed (but then the error
message could be improved).

It's a bug, and I'll report it as such.
It happens when I insert a hyperlink with a leading space at the
beginning of the line, but only if the hyperlink is more than a certain leng
th.
I'm working on figuring out the repro parameters and then I'll bug it.
But, you're absolutely right : it sure beats using the web interface.
