HTTPHandler Question...

Hi everyone,

I have the following problem: In my ASP.Net 2.0 Web Project Application the
users have the ability to upload files, which will be stored in database. A
common problem is the file size limit of ASP. If a file larger than the set
limit is uploaded, ASP is throwing an exception before code behind is reached.
So I guess, I have to create a handler, which will check the request.

I have written handlers, for example for showing images, etc. But what I want to
know is, how can a Handler just be executed only on file upload? Do I have to
register it anywhere?

Or if you have any other ideas, on how I can catch the problem, let me know.

Thanks,

Koray

Hi Koray,

I think you can use the existing control to handle the file uploading, for
example:

They are actually Http Modules. You can find source code of the first example.
