Subject: Trouble with UrlMapping in webconfig !
Posted By: bananas Post Date: 8/24/2006 5:16:27 PM
hi, I'm trying to map a Url such as

www.mywebsite.com/companyname

to

www.mywebsite.com/aspxpage.aspx?companyname

is there anyway of doing this? - so I would be redirecting my user to a webpage from them just typing in /companyname (so with no extensions).

I have read up on url mapping and it would seem microsoft only support a url mapping of an aspx page?

ASP.NET does not support that natively, however a number of 3rd party tools exist that do, and I might have found one for free here:

The link to it from the Channel 9 website is here:

And by the way, let me know if that works, because I might need to implement that myself sometime.

thankyou for the links

I have implemented the code from that webpage to use RegEx.

It works as far as the name goes but it still requires me to use the .aspx extension.

I don't know if you know of a regular expression to help?

I have got around my problem temporarily by using Virtual Directories by setting them up in my Host's Control Panel.

No problem.

I'm not that great of a programmer, but I rock at google searching!
