What is ASBX file?

The file in the ASBX format belongs to the Developer Files category. The creator of this file is Microsoft Corporation. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Microsoft ASP.Net BridgeHandler appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open ASBX file?

The most common problem when using Microsoft ASP.Net BridgeHandler is that a specific ASBX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ASBX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ASBX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install ASP.NET

The first step is to check if the computer has the ASP.NET program installed. To do this, enter the name ASP.NET into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ASBX with ASP.NET. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ASBX files.

Programs to open ASBX file

Remember to download programs supporting ASBX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ASP.NET with ASBX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ASBX file to open in the ASP.NET application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ASP.NET application as the default for handling the ASBX file.

Step 3. Update ASP.NET to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ASP.NET program with the Microsoft ASP.Net BridgeHandler file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASBX file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The ASBX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ASBX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ASBX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ASBX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ASBX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ASBX file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ASBX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ASBX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
