Friendly Url

[Guest]

I must make a web project. It's a dynamic web site with 3 template and the page content is in a database.
So I have a Url www.mysite.com/template1.aspx?IdPage=2

This is not good if I send a link of any page

Can I make something with .net ( c# ) to intercept someone as www.mysite.com/channel1/page.htm so I can search in my database for the IdPage and return the page?

www.mysite.com/channel1/page.htm not exist is a virtual Page!
The client browse my website with Friendly Url, but all stay on a Db.

I hope you undestand something e you can help me.
Bye

you can write HttpModule to do the job..

I have try to do this with a httpmodule, but if the client search for www.mysite.com/channel/pagina.htm, the browser say "the page not exists", the IIS write a error. It's work only if the page exists on my web site, but this is not my case.

This is because the .htm extension isn't being handled by ASP.NET, but by
IIS. You have to add a mapping from .htm to ASP.NET. Look at the virtual
directory properties, click Configuration and check the mappings. You'll
want to add one for .htm which is like the one for .aspx.

i tried a simple prototype on this..
in Application_BeginRequest of Global.asax i have this code

if(Request.Path.ToLower().IndexOf("dummypage") > -1)
Server.Transfer("WebForm1.aspx",true);

and it works only for file extensions that are handled by aspnet_isapi.dll.
in your case .HTM is not handled by this dll..hence your handler is not
getting fired.
try changing it to aspx..can you do that??

hth,

Since you're making friendly URLs, I'd go a step further and drop the .htm
completely.

Your HttpModule isn't working at all? Does it get called for .aspx pages but
not for the .htm pages?
