Generic Handler Jquery Post error

Question

I am getting this error (at the bottom) when I try to run this code using a generic handler

Jquery Code

 $.post("CheckUserName.ashx?username=Aaron902", 
                    function (result) { 
                        $('#username_availability_result').html('Name already exist!'); 

                        if (result == "exists") { 
                            $('#username_availability_result').html('Name already exist!'); 
                        } 
                        else { 
                            $('#username_availability_result').html('Still available'); 
                        } 

                    });

Handler Code

 public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) 
        { 
            string user_name = context.Request.QueryString["username"]; 
            string output = "here"; 
            output = CheckUserNameAvailability(user_name); 
            context.Response.Write(output); 
            context.Response.End(); 

        }

Parser Error Message: Could not create type 'Dating.CheckUserName'.

Seems to be an error in the CheckUserName.ashx.cs, can you post the whole .cs file? Did the project compile successfully? — Akos Lukacs, Dec 23 '11 at 17:57
The parser error says that the loaded assemblies do not have a class called `Dating.CheckUserName` in them. Is the `CheckUserName` class you specified in `CheckUserName.ashx.cs` contained in the `Dating` namespace? If this error is occurring on the production site, have you uploaded your newly built DLLs? — lsuarez, Dec 23 '11 at 19:09
kinda stinks to have to do it this way but this comment box wont allow me to put the full code so you can view it here http://jsfiddle.net/8Fv98/ i know the code is not javascript but hey it works for what i am needing it for and that is just to show what my code is — scripter78, Dec 24 '11 at 16:45

I found a fix to my issue although I am not sure why it works this way and not the original way. All I did was remove the code behind file and put all the code that was there into the ashx file instead of having it in the ashx.cs file.

Of course I removed the directive CodeBehind="CheckUserName.ashx.cs"
