If there is a better place for this post, please let me know.

I've created my own webserver using VB.NET (using System.Web.Hosting).

It works great (.aspx, .gif, etc. files are getting to the browser) except that WebResource.axd files do not reach the browser after being served.  (I can pop up their contents in the vb app-- so they are coming from ASP.NET just fine-- but the functions inside [javascript mainly] are not available in the browser.

WebResource.axd is a "virtual" file that the framework uses to serve the necessary embedded resources that an ASP.NET page needs (javascript functions, in this case, to work with the Menu control).

These .axd files show up in C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 so they are definitely being created.  Is this maybe a permissions issue?

Has anyone seen this problem in Cassini and/or using System.Web.Hosting?  Any ideas what might be causing it?

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

Did you find a solution to this problem? Thanks.

Hi Michael

i am also facing this issue with the IIS,

 did you find any solution.

Thanx

I saw this problem with cassini so I switched to using Neokernel (http://www.neokernel.com/) which correctly handles webresource.axd and scriptresource.axd HTTP handlers.
This msdn link has more about webresource.axd and managing resources under ASP.NET 2.0: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910442

First of all, sorry for bumbing this old thread, but just in case anyone is still looking for a solution, you need to define the correct Content-Type for each web-resource you use.

Check this entry in my blog, that describes it a little bit better.
