What is WebResource.axd?
I have troubles with blowery web and WebResource.axd.
What is WebResource.axd?
Solution 1:
WebResource.axd provides access to embedded resources within a project. It's a handler that enables control and page developers to download resources that are embedded in an assembly to the end user.
You include WebResources in your AssemblyInfo:
[assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("Project.Styles.Main.css", "text/css")]
Then you can get an include path for your Page using the following code:
string includeLocation = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(this.GetType(),
"Project.Styles.Main.css");
Then to add the above file (which is a CSS file in this case):
LiteralControl include = new LiteralControl(
String.Format(includeTemplate, includeLocation));
((System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlHead)Page.Header).Controls.Add(include);
Then you'll end up seeing references within your page source such as the following:
/WebResource.axd?d=PhPk80h_UWEcbheb-NHNP5WshV_47UOpWqAOl1_li

Solution 2:
It's a generated HttpHandler file. Most likely you have some embedded resource in your ASP.NET application, or one of the third party components you use. To transport these in a transparent way ASP.NET makes use of this approach where the correct resource can be identified depending on the passed in querystring. For example:
WebResource.axd?d=PhPk80h_UWEcbheb-NHNP5WshV_47UOpWqAOl1_liUFfN4cNofL74cFlQ1fvpFSf0&t=632573240669964903
Taken from Using WebResource.axd for embedded resources.
Solution 3:
Its for embedded resources.
