    Solution

    Check the following to solve this issue:

    1. Make sure the ASPxHttpHandlerModule is registered in Web.config.

      The ASPxHttpHandlerModule allows DevExpress ASP.NET controls to load their resources. The Web.config file should contain a reference to this module in the system.web/httpModules and system.webServer/modules (for IIS7 in integrated mode) sections. Registration is automatic if you place a DevExpress control on a form in Design view or if you use Project Templates to create an application. You can register the module if you create controls at runtime.

      IIS (classic mode)

      <system.web>  
          <httpHandlers>  
          <add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxHttpHandlerModule, DevExpress.Web.vX.Y, Version=X.Y.Z.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" verb="GET"  
          path="DX.ashx" validate="false" />  
          </httpHandlers>  
          <httpModules>  
          <add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxHttpHandlerModule, DevExpress.Web.vX.Y, Version=X.Y.Z.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" name="ASPxHttpHandlerModule"/>  
          </httpModules>  
      </system.web>  
      

      IIS7 (integrated mode)

      <system.web>  
          <httpHandlers>  
              <add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxHttpHandlerModule, DevExpress.Web.vX.Y, Version=X.Y.Z.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" verb="GET"  
              path="DX.ashx" validate="false" />  
          </httpHandlers>  
          <httpModules>  
      
          </httpModules>  
      </system.web>  
      
      <system.webServer>  
          <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />  
          <handlers>  
              <add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxHttpHandlerModule, DevExpress.Web.vX.Y, Version=X.Y.Z.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" verb="GET" name="ASPxHttpHandlerModule"  
              path="DX.ashx" preCondition="integratedMode" />  
          </handlers>  
          <modules>  
              <add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxHttpHandlerModule, DevExpress.Web.vX.Y, Version=X.Y.Z.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" name="ASPxHttpHandlerModule"/>  
          </modules>  
      </system.webServer>
      
    2. Make sure the application’s folder is marked as a separate IIS application.

    3. Add “Full control“ permission for the “IIS_IUSRS“ account in the application folder.

    4. Rewrite URL. Add an exception for the DXR.axd URL if you specify a Rewrite URL rule in your Proxy Layer/URL Rewrite Module that blocks/rewrites requests from resource handlers:

      • WebResource.axd (for standard handlers);
      • DXR.axd (for the DevExpresss ASPxHttpHandlerModule).
