Using a custom MvcHttpHandler v2.0 Breaking change from 1.0 to 2.0 ?
- by Myster
Hi
I have a site where part is webforms (Umbraco CMS) and part is MVC
This is the HttpHandler to deal with the MVC functionality:
public class Mvc : MvcHttpHandler
{
protected override void ProcessRequest(HttpContext httpContext)
{
httpContext.Trace.Write("Mvc.ashx", "Begin ProcessRequest");
string originalPath = httpContext.Request.Path;
string newPath = httpContext.Request.QueryString["mvcRoute"];
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(newPath))
newPath = "/";
httpContext.Trace.Write("Mvc.ashx", "newPath = "+newPath );
HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(newPath, false);
base.ProcessRequest(HttpContext.Current);
HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(originalPath, false);
}
}
Full details of how this is implemented here
This method works well in an MVC 1.0 website.
However when I upgrade this site to MVC 2.0 following the steps in Microsoft's upgrade documentation; everything compiles, except at runtime I get this exception:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource
you are looking for (or one of its
dependencies) could have been removed,
had its name changed, or is
temporarily unavailable. Please
review the following URL and make sure
that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /mvc.ashx
Version Information: Microsoft .NET
Framework Version:2.0.50727.4927;
ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.4927
This resource and it's dependencies are found fine in MVC 1.0 but not in MVC 2.0, is there an extra dependency I'd need to add?
Is there something I'm missing? Is there a change in the way MVC 2.0 works?
