ASHX handler with ASP.NET MVC 3 and Razor

Question

I would like to use Silverlight Multi File Uploader with ASP.NET MVC 3. The problem is that I need to use ashx handler to handle file upload (the handler is part of the library). How can I integrate the handler with ASP.NET MVC 3 (I'm using Razor view engine) ?

Answer 1

My guess is that it is easier because it is part of a (older?) third party library and it easier to just follow the instructions that tells you to set something in web.config. You should be able to ignore requests to *.ashx by ignoring routes to *.ashx files. You should be able to use something like this, but I haven't tried it myself:

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

Who told you that you need a handler? Everything that you could do in a handler could be done in a controller action. You even have access to the raw Request.InputStream if necessary.
