Transferring User based on Short URL

[Brian Hoops]

Is there an easy way to configure a site to load certain pages based on a
short URL entered? For example...

www.domain.com/sitemap loads
www.domain.com/application/sitemap.aspx?show=all
www.domain.com/privacy loads www.domain.com/application/privacy.aspx

etc.

I currently set up a folder and a default.aspx containing a
response.redirect to the destination, however this is becoming too
cumbersome to maintain.

I hope this is clear, but if not I can try to clarify.

TIA

-Brian

You want to use URL Rewriting.

Hello Brian,

Have you checked out the <urlMappings> element in the <system.web> section
of the web.config file? Handles the non-complex/non-dynamic case of url
mapping.

For more dynamic url mapping check out the following list of articles from
aspnetworl.com: http://www.aspnetworld.com/articles/2004011901.aspx.

Thanks. It looks like the <urlMappings> is all I would need, but since that
is only in .net 2.0 and we're using 1.1 I'll look into URL rewriting.

Thanks!
