IHttpHandler.IsReusable Property

Definition

Gets a value indicating whether another request can use the IHttpHandler instance.

public bool IsReusable { get; }

Property Value

true if the IHttpHandler instance is reusable; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example writes four lines of text to the HTTP output stream in response to a client request for a page named handler.aspx. All requests for handler.aspx are serviced by the MyHttpHandler class in the namespace HandlerExample contained in the assembly HandlerTest.dll.

// Name this C# file HandlerTest.cs and compile it with the
// command line: csc /t:library /r:System.Web.dll HandlerTest.cs.
// Copy HandlerTest.dll to your \bin directory.

using System.Web;

namespace HandlerExample
{
   public class MyHttpHandler : IHttpHandler
   {
      // Override the ProcessRequest method.
      public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
      {
         context.Response.Write("<H1>This is an HttpHandler Test.</H1>");
         context.Response.Write("<p>Your Browser:</p>");
         context.Response.Write("Type: " + context.Request.Browser.Type + "<br>");
         context.Response.Write("Version: " + context.Request.Browser.Version);
      }

      // Override the IsReusable property.
      public bool IsReusable
      {
         get { return true; }
      }
   }
}
