I use to know how to do this in .net 1.1, but not sure in 2.0 (cant even
remember 1.1 its been 2yrs since I did ASP.net last) but say I have this
site that is dynamic

http://localhost/content.aspx?page=23

how can I make that translate into this

http://localhost/Content/23

that virtual path that translates into an actual page... thanks!

In 2.0 theres a new handler, with a section in web.config to list your
re-mappings called urlMappings.

Yes, your not the first person to mention that as an issue, and people have
alrady started providing workarounds.

Perhaps this is more up your street

Do you know if this can be used when the URL entered doesn't contain
..aspx? I have a client who wants to advertise URLs like...

http://www.domain.com/software

and have it map to the real ASP.NET page. Basically, his audience is
really not techno-savvy and he is bothered by the .aspx endings as they
are harder to read. I know I could just bung the various bits of content
in folders, but I have other reasons why I don't want to do that. This
urlMappings handler looked just the ticket, but only if it can be used
with an URL like I showed. I have a suspicion that this URL won't get
passed to the ASP.NET engine, so the mapping will never get done.

Any comments? TIA
