HttpHandler in Asp .Net

An ASP.NET HTTP handler is basically a process that runs in response to a request made to an ASP.NET Web application. The most common handler is the ASP.NET page handler that processes .aspx files. When users request an .aspx file, the request is processed by the page through the page handler. (Wikipedia)

I am going to create an Http Handler which will serve an image in response to a request like Shalvin.img.

public class MyHandler : IHttpHandler
{
        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
        context.Response.WriteFile("Session.jpg");
    }

    public bool IsReusable
    {
        get
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

For directing the application to use this handler when i request Shalvin.img I have to add a few sections in web.config.

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5"/>
    <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5"/>

    <httpHandlers>
      <add verb="*" path="Shalvin.img" type="MyHandler, App_Code"/>
    </httpHandlers>
    
  </system.web>
  
  <system.webServer>
  <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>

  <handlers>
    <add name="ImageHandler" verb="*" path="Shalvin.img" type="MyHandler, App_code" />
  </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
  
</configuration>

SPWeb Class with SharePoint 2013

SPWeb Class represents a web site.

The AllWebs Property of the SPSite Class will return all web sites within the site collection.

SPSite sSiteCollection = new SPSite("http://shalvin");
foreach(SPWeb sw in sSiteCollection.AllWebs)
 {
  listBox1.Items.Add(sw.Url);
  listBox1.Items.Add("Root web ? " + sw.IsRootWeb);
  listBox1.Items.Add(sw.Site);
  listBox1.Items.Add("  ");
}

The Webs property of SPWeb Calss will Return all the immediate child web sites beneath a web site.

SPcontext ctx = SPContext.Current;
SPSite site = ctx.Site;

SPWeb sw = sw.RootWeb; 
listBox1.Items.Add(web.Title);

foreach(SPWeb child in sw.Webs)
{
 listBox1.Items.Add(child.Title);
}

SPSite Class with SharePoint 2013

SPSite Class Represents a collection of sites in a web application. It comprises of the top level site and all its sub sites.
SPSite Class is under Microsoft.SharePoint namespace. Microsoft.SharePoint.dll is placed in Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15, also  called 15 hive.

We will start with a SharePoint 2013 Visual Web Part project.

using Microsoft.SharePoint;

SPSite sSiteCollection = new SPSite("http://shalvin");

listBox1.Items.Add(sSiteCollection.ContentDatabase);
listBox1.Items.Add("Conn String: " + sSiteCollection.ContentDatabase.DatabaseConnectionString);
listBox1.Items.Add("Web App: " + sSiteCollection.WebApplication.Name);
listBox1.Items.Add(sSiteCollection.Url);

Trip to Arthunkal via State Highway 66

Today I took a trip to Arthunkal (Aleppey Disstrict) via State Highway 66 from Marine Drive North End. Though people used to take the NH way because it is the more familiar route, I prefer SH 66. SH 66 is pollution and traffic free. There are a lot of beaches on the way like Andhakaranazhi Beach.
