WebForms page inside of Orchard CMS Application

Question

I'm trying to include a webforms (.aspx) page inside of an Orchard 1.2 application.

I've tried adding back the aspx handler in the web.config

<add path="*.aspx" verb="*" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" /> 

and added code to the Global.asax to try and get routing to ignore aspx requests

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.aspx/{*pathInfo}");

I'm still receiving a 404 response anytime I request the aspx page. How do I make this work?

Answer 1

Here's a web.config that has worked for me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
      <handlers accessPolicy="Script">
        <add name="ASPX" path="*.aspx" verb="*" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" preCondition="integratedMode" requireAccess="Script"/>
      </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Thanks Bertrand. I got this working by adding the handler in the web.config of Orchard.Web and placing my webform pages in a directory in the same project. – Cenotaph

Answer 2

Using the above as the complete Web.cofig of Orchard.web produces the result but stops Orchard pages being displayed.

Adding this handler to the original Web.config of Orchard.Web still produces a Resource cannot be found error when browsing to ASPX pages (orchard pages are fine).

By removing

<httpHandlers>
      <!-- see below -->
      <add path="*" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler"/>
</httpHandlers>

I can browse to both Orchard Pages and ASPX pages by using the method above.

Thanks
