I have a web form such as mysite.com/list.aspx?state=florida&city=miami that I want users to browse using mysite.com/florida/miami/ and I'm using routing to do so. Then instead of using query string parameters, I end up having to use HttpContext.Current.Items[key] to retrieve the values on my list.aspx page. I have included the code below.
I would like to know what the best practices are to unit test this. Also, is there a better way to implement this without changing my code on the list.aspx page?
Code:
Sample of my Global.asax file:
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.Add(new Route("{state}", new CustomRouteHandler("/list.aspx")));
routes.Add(new Route("{state}/{city}", new CustomRouteHandler("/list.aspx")));
}
Sample of the CustomerRouteHandler:
public class CustomRouteHandler : IRouteHandler
{
public CustomRouteHandler(string virtualPath)
{
this.VirtualPath = virtualPath;
}
public string VirtualPath { get; private set; }
public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)
{
foreach (var urlParm in requestContext.RouteData.Values)
{
requestContext.HttpContext.Items[urlParm.Key] = urlParm.Value;
}
IHttpHandler page = BuildManager.CreateInstanceFromVirtualPath (VirtualPath, typeof(Page)) as IHttpHandler;
return page;
}
}
