embedded resources

[Chuck]

I have a class library.
Is it possible to embed an aspx file in it and have any embedded code/script
run?

Is there a way to do a Server.Transfer with an embedded resource?

thanks,

 

[gerry]

sure - look into Virtual Path Provider

I setup a 'site builder' web site where pretty much everything that can be
is compiled into .dll's including .aspx & .ascx files

I believe Gerry's answer is correct. You can refer to the following article
to learn how to use Virtual Path Provider:

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'll
do my best to follow up.

I've never used a Virtual Path Provider before so here goes:

I am in an HttpModule and I create the virtual page.
However, I really don't know what to do from there.
I thought I could stop after ProcessRequest but nothing happens.
I am in an Ajax Partial Rendering state (IsInAsyncPostBack).
So I tried Server.Transfer but that didn't work either.

System.Web.UI.Page page = _application.Context.CurrentHandler as
System.Web.UI.Page;

System.Web.UI.ScriptManager mgr =
System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.GetCurrent(page);

if (mgr != null && mgr.IsInAsyncPostBack)
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
IHttpHandler virtualPage =
(Page)System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CreateInstanceFromVirtualPath("~/App_Resource/Util.dll/"
+ "Util.ExceptionHandler.ExceptionViewer.aspx", typeof(Page));

virtualPage.ProcessRequest(HttpContext.Current);

page.Server.Transfer(virtualPage, false);
}

Hi,

Server.Transfer, in most cases, will not work if you call it in async
postback (please see my reply in you another post).
Virtual Path Provider is usually used to provide aspx code. Normally say we
request "http://server/A/default.aspx", the request is handled by a
HttpHandler. In this case, you can either precomplie the dll so that all
the handler's code persists in dll, or you can put partial code in aspx
file for later update. The code in aspx will be compiled along with the
partial code in dll to create a complete dll at run time.

With the help of Virtual Path Provider we have more flexibility. For
example, we can store aspx code in database, etc.

I reread your original post. Probably, what you need is custom control.

If you want to embed scripts please refer to the following sample:

Gerry,
Do you know how to do a response.redirect to an embedded aspx file?
thanks,
