ActiveReports provides HttpHandler components that allow ASP.NET to automatically process reports that have been placed into an ASP.NET web site folder. ActiveReports' HttpHandler components enable easily deployable reports in both HTML and PDF file formats. ActiveReports includes a simple configuration utility to properly register the HttpHandler components with IIS and ASP.NET.

The RPX and RDLX HttpHandler processes and outputs reports from ActiveReports layout files (ending in the .rpx/.rdlx extension). When the ASP.NET receives a request for an ActiveReport file ending with the .rpx/.rdlx extension, the RPX/RDLX HttpHandler will run, and return the report's output in a format of your choice.

The compiled Report HttpHandler enables easy distribution of ActiveReports that use compiled .NET source code. Compiled reports are exposed as a .NET class in a .NET assembly file. When ASP.NET receives a request for a file with the .ActiveReport extension, the Compiled Report handler will load the ActiveReports from the assembly, run it, and return the output in a format of your choice.

For information on configuring the http handlers, see Configure HttpHandlers in IIS 6.x and Configure HttpHandlers in IIS 7.x. The required mapping for each feature has been listed below.

The configuration file that contains the httpHandlers that allow ActiveReports to process reports on the Web.

Note that you need to manually update version information here when you update your version of ActiveReports.
