An AXD file is a file used by ASP.NET applications for handling embedded resource requests. It contains instructions for retrieving embedded resources, such as images, JavaScript (.JS) files, and.CSS files. AXD files are used for injecting resources into the client-side webpage and access them on the server in a standard way.
