Looking for sample global.asax.cs files for routing information.

No matter what you read about ASP.NET routing or REST I think the best way to learn more about them is to read other people's routing files. In a video with Jeff once you could catch a glimpse of the stackoverflow routing file if you paused the video in the right place. I actually learnt quite a lot just looking at how it was organized. ...

Automatic Event Wiring in Global.asax
