WebForms page inside of Orchard CMS Application - asp.net

Question

I'm trying to include a webforms (.aspx) page inside of an Orchard 1.2 application.
I've tried adding back the aspx handler in the web.config
<add path="*.aspx" verb="*" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" />
and added code to the Global.asax to try and get routing to ignore aspx requests
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.aspx/{*pathInfo}");
I'm still receiving a 404 response anytime I request the aspx page. How do I make this work?

Answer 1

Here's a web.config that has worked for me:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers accessPolicy="Script">
<add name="ASPX" path="*.aspx" verb="*" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" preCondition="integratedMode" requireAccess="Script"/>
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Answer 2

Using the above as the complete Web.cofig of Orchard.web produces the result but stops Orchard pages being displayed.
Adding this handler to the original Web.config of Orchard.Web still produces a Resource cannot be found error when browsing to ASPX pages (orchard pages are fine).
By removing
<httpHandlers>
<!-- see below -->
<add path="*" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler"/>
</httpHandlers>
I can browse to both Orchard Pages and ASPX pages by using the method above.
Thanks
