URLRewrite IIS 7 Help Needed

Question

Hi,

Here is my settings for IIS 7 URL Rewrite:

<system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="Rewrite to article.aspx">
          <match url="^Articles/([0-9]+)/([_0-9a-z-]+)" />
          <action type="Rewrite" url="articledetails.aspx?articleid={R:1}&amp;title={R:2}" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>

Unfortunately, my page at the following url is not displayed at all:

http://www.highoncoding.com/Articles/723_Introduction_to_IPhone_Development.aspx

Looks like you are giving in the wrong URL.

<match url="^Articles/([0-9]+)/([_0-9a-z-]+)" />

The above rule will match /Articles/723/Introduction_to_Iphone_Development. You are giving it /Articles/723_Introduction_to_Iphone_Development (underscore instead of slash). Seems that you fixed it as I am typing this though :)
