Asp.Net Url Handling

Question

Is there a built in method to handle urls like Default.aspx/mycontent or do I need to handle it myself by taking the url and stripping of the file's path?

I have tried searching for it but haven't been able to find anything.

I'd like to handle .aspx/parameters and am not looking at Mod/URL Rewrite.

Answer 1

Take a look at ASP.NET MVC. This framework obviously goes far beyond just "user-friendly" URLs, but it does also handle this as a byproduct.

Or you could just write a HttpFilter...

Answer 2

If you want you're app to do "friendly urls" then surely you would want to avoid ".aspx" appearing in the URL? Have considered ASP.NET-MVC or at least the routing elements of it.

Answer 3

You could either write an url rewrite handler, use ASP.NET MVC routing in your webforms application, or use ASP.NET MVC instead of webforms.

Answer 4

You can parse out the appended "folder" using the Request.Url.Segments Array:

this.Response.Write(this.Request.Url.Segments[this.Request.Url.Segments.Length - 1]);

Then use Server.Transfer or render whatever you like. You will often have problems with relative paths and such for CSS and the like.
