File Extension ASHX

File type: ASP .NET Web Handler File

About the ASHX file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .ASHX files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The .ASHX extension identifies a server side script file, for handling HTTP requests, and used to display dynamic content. ASHX files are specifically associated with Microsoft's ASP.NET web application framework (which forms part of the .NET platform) used for building web pages.

Additional Information:
To view the contents of a .ASHX file it may be possible to use a text editor, however, otherwise these files should be executed automatically by the browser.
