I need a simple example of asp.net routing

Question

if the user type

http://myweb/mysite.aspx (file does not exist)

I want them to go to

http://myweb/site.aspx (file does exist)

My goal is to make a bilingual website (including url) but without having to make physical file

this would be one file

http://myweb/acceuil.aspx
http://myweb/home.aspx

Answer 1

That's not routing; that is a redirect.

_rick_shott seems to have the mojo on routing bad urls into a 301 redirect. I upvoted his answer. You should check out his HTTPModule solution.

Not sure what you are trying to do, but this is the best turtorial for the question you asked:

Answer 3

In your web.config, add a customErrors and error node as follows:

    <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="ErrorDisplayPage.aspx">
     <error statusCode="404" redirect="http://myweb/site.aspx"/&gt;
    </customErrors>

This will displayErrorDisplayPage.aspx for all unmanaged errors except for 404 errors (which are "page not found"). For 404 errors, the browser will redirect to the site.aspx page.
