PageHandlerFactory Class

Creates instances of classes that inherit from the Page class and implement the IHttpHandler interface. Instances are created dynamically to handle requests for ASP.NET files. The PageHandlerFactory class is the default handler factory implementation for ASP.NET pages.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Unrestricted = true)]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Unrestricted = true)]
public class PageHandlerFactory : IHttpHandlerFactory

The PageHandlerFactory class implements the IHttpHandlerFactory interface to provide the default HTTP handler for ASP.NET files. The PageHandlerFactory calls the ASP.NET compilation system to compile, if necessary, and return the exact type corresponding to the URL, and then creates an instance of that type. The page type inherits from the Page class and implements the IHttpHandler interface.

To build a custom page handler factory, implement the IHttpHandlerFactory and register the custom PageHandlerFactory class in the Web.config file for the application in the httpHandlers Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema) configuration section.
