Hello,

Page 266, show an example of a Server-Side Redirect:

http://www.domain.com/cars/Volvo/v70/R

I am still unsure how to create pretty URLs like this.

I hope to use this info to create Profile pages (www.domain.com/username)

I will be using SQL Server 2008 with this and EF.


Also, I really enjoy this book. I bought your last book, but I think this book is even better. I would enjoy reading more books by you, on this subject.

Hi there,

Good to hear you like the book so much.

With regard to the pretty URLs, you have at least two options:

1. ASP.NET MVC. Quite different from ASP.NET Web Forms, but an interesting technology.

2. Use ASP.NET Routing. For more info, check:

3. Do "poor man's routing" You could create a handler in Global.asax that intercepts the incoming URL, looks at the part after the domain name and then uses Server.Transfer to transfer to a new page. Not as clean as routing, so i'd look into that if I were you.

Cheers,

Imar
