Rewriting a Url which can contain 1 or 2 querystrings with URLRewriter.NET ?

Question

Hi,

In my project, my /PropertDetail.aspx can get 2 querystrings.

1st one for the PropertyId /PropertDetail.aspx?PropertyId=5

2nd one for the Language /PropertDetail.aspx?PropertyId=5&Language=2

EDIT: and this page can get one of them or can get both of them, so my rewriter rule needs to handle both of them

So, i have set these rules to web.config

<rewriter>
        <rewrite url="^(/.+(\.gif|\.png|\.jpg|\.ico|\.pdf|\.css|\.js)(\?.+)?)$" to="$1" processing="stop" />
        <rewrite url="^/(.+)-(.+).aspx$" to="/PropertyDetail.aspx?PropertyId=$2" processing="stop"/>
        <!--http://localhost:1562/Harika-Gayrimenkul-5.aspx--&gt;
        <rewrite url="^/(.+)-(.+)-(.+).aspx$" to="/PropertyDetail.aspx?PropertyId=$2&#038;Language=$3" processing="stop"/>
        <!--http://localhost:1562/Great-Property-5-2.aspx--&gt;
</rewriter>

It is all OK if there is no Language querystring, but when there is a language querystring it gets the 3rd expression as the PropertyId instead of Language

How can i define these two rules for the same page ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Combined answer:

<rewriter>
 <rewrite url="^(/.+(\.gif|\.png|\.jpg|\.ico|\.pdf|\.css|\.js)(\?.+)?)$" to="$1" processing="stop"/>
 <rewrite url="^.+?([\d]+?)-([\d]+?)\.aspx$" to="/PropertyDetail.aspx?PropertyId=$1&amp;Language=$2" processing="stop"/>
 <rewrite url="^.+?-([\d]+?)\.aspx$" to="/PropertyDetail.aspx?PropertyId=$1" processing="stop"/>

</rewriter>

That's working well now for many combinations:

/This-is-a-really-long-property-title-555-12

returns PropertyId=555 and Language=12.

/This-is-another-really-long-property-title-666

returns PropertyId=666.

Answer 2

This is the final solution that we have come up with.

<rewriter>
    <rewrite url="^(/.+(\.gif|\.png|\.jpg|\.ico|\.pdf|\.css|\.js)(\?.+)?)$" to="$1" processing="stop"/>
    <rewrite url="^.+?([\d]+?)-([\d]+?)\.aspx$" to="/PropertyDetail.aspx?PropertyId=$1&amp;Language=$2" processing="stop"/>
    <rewrite url="^.+?-([\d]+?)\.aspx$" to="/PropertyDetail.aspx?PropertyId=$1" processing="stop"/>
</rewriter>

• 1st rule is about the file types which we don't need.
• 2nd rule is about "if page gets 2 querystring"
• 3rd rule is about if the page get only one querystring

Even I have a problem in redirecting using "rewriter" Here is what I want to do .. If any user opens the website say www.tvguidemagazine it opens properly but when the user adds a word "customercare" to the site www.tvguidemagazine/customercare it returns "invalid virtual path error" instead of the customercare page.

What I have done is.. In the web.config file i have added a rule
