FileUltimate is no longer working in the ASP.NET Development Server

Problem reported by Gary - 4/9/2018 at 12:25 AM

Resolved

FileUltimate is no longer working in the ASP.NET Development Server included in Visual Studio 2010.

This happened on version 5.21.0.0 (the 5.20.5.0 version still works) and also not working on the latest 5.21.0.0

I think this is related to the routing changes. If I look in the Chrome console the following resource files are failing to load and give 404's when I browse to these urls..

http://localhost:44444/resource.ashx/636587266730000000/gt/library/ext/theme-gray/all1.css

Hi,

We released v5.21.5 two days ago with this fix:

Fixed: In some cases, ASP.NET’s UrlRoutingModule was still taking over the handlers (HTTP 404) after the new own routing was added in v5.21.0. This is now completely fixed. For reference, it was avoidable with v5.21.0 via adding the below line at the start of RegisterRoutes method in RouteConfig.cs (of MVC project):

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.ashx/{*pathInfo}")

Now, this is not required anymore starting with this version.

Probably this should also fix your "ASP.NET Development Server included in Visual Studio 2010" issue.

Let me know.

I Cem, I tried a similar things and couldn't get it to work, but in the process I ended up discovering IIS Express which solved the problem and is so much more compatible with IIS. Also UltiDev Web Server worked too, but IIS Express was integrated right into VS2010 so I am sticking with it as the winner.

So you say even latest version "Version 5.21.5 - April 7, 2018" did not work on VS2010 ASP.NET Development Server (out of the box, no additional code is required)?

Yes, IIS Express is better actually it's the only one used in VS versions after VS2010

Yes that is correct, I tried both FileUltimate-v5.21.0.0 and FileUltimate-v5.21.5.0 and both are not working in VS2010 ASP.NET Development Server. The previous version that I was using FileUltimate-v5.20.5.0 does work.

FYI, this is now fixed in Version 3.15.6 - April 11, 2018:

Improved: Handler routing was not working (HTTP 404) in ASP.NET Development Server included in Visual Studio 2010 due to how it handled Request.PathInfo differently from IIS/IIS Express.
