I have a Solution that contains a Web Application and a Class Library. The
Class Library contains an HTTP Handler, which implements IHttpHandler and
needs registered in the config file. I want the *.dll for the Class Library
to be available and work independently of the Web Application. The handler
works when I register the handler in the <httpHandlers> section of the
Web.config file in the Web Application, but how can I register it using the
Class Library? Thanks.

A class library uses an app.config.

I did notice the app.config file in the Class Library, but when I moved the
registration from the Web Application's Web.config to the Class Library's
app.config, it didn't seem to do anything. Is there anything that needs to
be different in any way when the registration is in app.config? Thanks.

The Web.config is the root of all configs and the app.config is going to
be ignored by the Web application.

You should make a Console project and add the classlib project to the
solution and try the app.config there.

A DLL in Net is a Class Library not something that is independent working.

If you want the later you can use a service (or a webservice of WFC).

Success

I probably made a bad choice of words there. What I meant was I want people
to be able to add the *.dll to their web application and use the handler
without needing to register it in their Web.config. The reason I created the
handler is because it is used by one of the controls in my class library (it
generates a *.gif image), so I need the handler to be available to the
control at a known location (unless there is some alternative way for me to
have the *.gif's generated and returned from a URL). Any ideas?

Name your file .ashx and it should work without registering.

opps I met without having to add to web.config.
