File extension ashx information

Cannot open ashx files in Windows?
Not being able to open ashx files in Windows may be a result of registry errors or not having the appropriate application installed. It is strongly recommended that you scan your computer for registry errors (free).When users are using the Visual Studio .NET in the visual design mode of the ASP.NET, the file extension ASHX creates pages with the help of two files, the ASPX and the CS files. The ASPX file represents a layout of HTML that is interspersed with code, and the CS file that represents what is referred to as ‘Code Behind’ by Microsoft. The files of this extension are very essential during the output to an xml-consuming client as opposed to a web browser. The creation of real world web applications is made dramatically easy by the ASP.NET.
