How do I get the virtual url and not the webforms page name that the url is mapped to when using System.Web.Routing with webforms.
I want the url "/confirm/5" and not "Confirm.aspx".
I have a completed app running in a QA environment. Everything works fine under most circumstances.If you hit a plain URL (no identifying information in the URL), you see an intro page with a button (generated by an asp LinkButton control) that posts back and directs you to another page. The markup looks the same when it fails and when it doesn't.
When such a URL is followed from, e.g., Word and the default browser is IE, the intro page loads fine, but clicking the button causes an error. When not debugging, this behavior occurs every time. While debugging, the error occurs only ~ 1 in 10 times (closing the browser instance and starting over every time).When the error occurs, the intro page Page_Load fires and IsPostBack is false. Somehow, instead of a post, a get is being issued.
When I run fiddler to try to analyze the actual calls (can't use firebug because it never happens using Firefox), everything works every time.I don't know whether this issue has anything to do with routing, and I've no idea even what to look at next. The strange thing is, when I debug, the intro page doesn't fully load every time. Only about 1 in 3 times does it fully load even if I've just cleared browser cache. When I run it through fiddler, it fully loads and works fine every time.
I have an asp.net mvc 2 app (using .net 4.0) that isn't routing correctly when hosted in a virtual directory. I have the following simple routing rule:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{action}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "accounts" } // Parameter defaults
);
I'm trying to resolve [URL]. Where "accounts" is a virtual directory. If I put the app in the root of an IIS website it routes fine for [URL], but if I put the app in a virtual directory I get 404 errors. I've debugged and it is executing global.asax and configuring routing when in the vdir. Is there something special I need to do for routing in a virtual directory? FYI. I'm using a vdir because the root has wordpress in it. one more thing is that if I specify a default action in parameter defaults, it will execute the default action/controller, but it never matches anything else.
I have an ASP.NET web application(WebForms,Not MVC) developed in VS 2008 and i have implemented ASP.NET web forms URL routing by following this link [URL]It works pretty good when i run it on the Visual studion IDE.But does not works when i created a site under my IIS (IIS 5.1 in XP) and deployed the same files there.I have set ASP.NET version as 2.0 in the Properties window of my application too.But does not work.
View 1 RepliesI have a Domain like [URL] that is pointed to a virtual directory on my webspace like [URL]. The folder structure on my webspace is (off course) like this
root
bin
VirtualDirectoryName
bin
Content
Scripts
Views
Web.config
Global.asax
If i call now [URL] i get the Site without CSS and the links are [URL]. I used the default and almost empty default "Internet Application". So the routing is default and all links are created with @Html.ActionLink. i tried so many things but i cant get it working. In my local environment i can affect that with IIS settings but (off course) i do not have access on the IIS settings of my host.
How would you accomplish these in ASP.NET Webforms 4.0 Routing;.aspx pages should not be accesible directly, pages should be accesible only with routes,
Start page should be "/" or "/home" or something else, but not "Default.aspx".
I want to add optional parameters in my routing table.For example I would like the users to browse a product catalog like this:http://www.domain.com/browse/by-category/electronics/1,2,3 etc
routes.MapPageRoute(
"ProductsBrowse",
"browse/{BrowseBy}/{Category}",
"~/Pages/Products/Browse.aspx"
If you cannot turn on wildcard mapping for IIS (shared hosting) or can't be bothered (lazyness) can you still use ASP.Net routing if your routes end in one of the "known" asp.net extensions...like ending all routes with .ashx, .aspx etc?
From Chris Cavenagh's blog, could his examples of:
[code]...
I'm presuming so as his last route is Default.aspx, but he hasn't included any route data with that...Is there a better way? Provided this works, it looks like the best as if the application is moved or wildcard mapping can be turned on, only the routes need to change...
Can Asp.Net 4 Webforms handle url routing for differing domain names?
Ex.
www.abc.com
www.admin.abc.com
www.domainname.com
www.admin.domainname.com
I would like to make a single app to handle the requests coming from the above URLs.Most of the scenarios I have found point to having url routing based on a single domain and multiple web pages.
I'm using routing to keep my site backwards compatible for our clients, while make my project organized.
I'm also thinking of moving our encrypted query string to a more friendly url. How this works is our clients have to bookmark a huge encrypted url to prevent them from guessing our other clients by changing an id around.
But instead of having this huge url, wanted to add a route like LoginClientName.aspx for each client and have the encrypted query string hard coded or maybe in database.
But don't see a way to add a query to the MapPageRoute..
Was thinking of something like this (know it doesnt work)
routes.MapPageRoute("MapClient1", "LoginClient1.aspx", "Login.aspx?secure=mylongquerystring");
routes.MapPageRoute("MapClient2", "LoginClient2.aspx", "Login.aspx?secure=differentmylongquerystring");
Now this throws exception since it doesn't allow a ? in url
I have an application that I run in several places (demo, production, local, etc.) that all use different virtual directories for the placement of the MVC application.
I use StructureMap in this application, so I am overriding the ControllerFactory to use StructureMap to build controllers (when the passed controller instance is not null).
My problem is that the controller instance being passed to the controller factory IS null, which is fine if said route didn't exist, but it does... specifically, it should be my DEFAULT ROOT route.
Basically if I host the app at [URL], everything works fine except when I have a '/' on the end of the URL (meaning,[URL]... the latter works fine, while the former gives me the error). It looks like when that slash is there, the routing engine is deciding that it should be looking for a controller named MvcController, which doesn't exist, and which then passes the null controller instance to the ControllerFactory, resulting in the following error:
The controller for path '/Mvc/' could not be found or it does not implement IController.
My Default route is the standard default route. Removing all other routes has no effect. My default controller is HomeController.
I have an ASP.NET web application(webforms,not MVC) developed in VS 2008 and i have implemented ASP.NET web forms URL routing by following this link [URL]
It works pretty good when i run it on the Visual studion IDE.But does not works when i created a site under my IIS (IIS 5.1 in XP) and deployed the same files there.I have set ASP.NET version as 2.0 in the Properties window of my application too.But does not work.
Simple enough I have a search feature I am wanting to impliment Routing for.Here is the routing table for it.
[Code]....
Now I want to set the postback URL for a linkbutton to go to the search page with all parameters filled in but the last one or for that matter any one of the parameters to be left blank
[Code]....
You will see in this example I left the very last one blank. Now when I do that the link does not work. If I fill in all attributes it does workso can anyone tell me how to work around this issue?
I'm going through my apps and carving out as many querystring URLs as possible by using Routing instead.For our product catalog,we have many product categories that have characters like ampersands and slashes in them which don't go over to well when used in a URL.
I'm currently using Page.GetRouteUrl in my databound objects to create URLs like "~/catalog/My Category", which gets encoded to "~/catalog/My%20Category", so I used string.replace to smooth that into "~/catalog/My_Category".
But then, as mentioned, I have categories with commas, ampersands, slashes, quotes, &c.,
My question: is there a general way to easily deal with these characters in route keys, or do I need to develop a list of URL-friendly characters to use and replace all of the ugly ones, then un-replace them when I'm passing the route data to my LINQ statements?If that's so, then I can't use <asp:RouteParameter /> in declarative markup.
My hosting provider has ASP.NET 3.5 and I'm using MVC 2.0. I have two domains on my account, [URL], and [URL], each has it's own virtual directory off of the root:
/
/domainone
/domaintwo
Their routing commands for their httpd.ini rerouts [URL]to [URL] If I type in the address bar [URL], it works properly. The Problem My website links created using Html.ActionLink add the virtual directory. If you mouse over the About link in your standard MVC2.0 webapp, it displays as follows: [URL]
All of my testing and setup on my development machine doesn't have this virtual directory, and in the past my webhost didn't have this issue in the path. But since the move to their 'new' shared hosting platform, this is now what I'm having to deal with. How do I setup my ASP.NET MVC 2.0 web application to remove the unwanted virtual directory name from the path in my ActionLink controls?.....
I've implemented WebForms Routing (using ASP.NET 3.5 SP1) and have a routed page that uses the AJAX Control Toolkit Slider control. The handle image doesn't always display, depending on the depth of the URL. I believe it may be something to do with the image being and embedded resource accessed via webresource.axd.
For example:
www.myapp.com/tours - will display the handle image
www.myapp.com/tours/london - doesn't display it.
My routing is configured as such:
[Code]....
On viewing the HTML source the actual image is rendered as:
[Code]....
Been hitting my head against a brick wall with this for days?
Does anybody knows if it is possible to make URL routing in a ASP.Net webforms website that is running under the Classic .NET AppPool.
I've tried a few things here, but it just works when I switch from Classic AppPool to Default AppPool.
** the web site MUST run under Classic AppPool.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 and ASP.NET 4.0 to build a WebForms project that uses the new routing features in System.Web.Routing. When I build my solution and run it from within VS.NET's debugging environment only routes with RouteUrl's that include a ".aspx" extension are being properly routed to the PhysicalFile. It appears requests made to other URLs are not being "detected" by the routing engine for processing. In the case below, "Scenario1" shows a 404 and "Scenario2" works properly.
Here is the relevant code in my global.asax:

ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 with Web Forms Routing thru Global.asax (System.Web.Routing and RegisterRoutes)IIS 7
Everything is working fine in my local machine, but it gives the following error in my hosting environment:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I have a Web application where i have added a reference to a RESTful WCF. I got the WCF url Routing to work in my webapplication by adding Inherits="RestService.Global" to the Web applications Global.asax.
<%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="RestService.Global" Language="C#" %>
But then i tried to create url Routing for the Web application and it does not work with the Inherits="RestService.Global" in the Global.asax. If i take it away it works fine. Is there a correct way to do this.
I'm trying to create my own CMS and I've gotten a little bit stuck at the stage of URL routing.
I want clean URLs without extensions and I'd like to be able to create and modify them in a web based interface without any messing around with IIS or actual files.
I've seen how to create a static route, but for that I need to go into my Global.asax file and manually add it.I would like to have all of these routes stored in a database so that I can easily modify them later.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
Just for extra information, I will be attempting to create a feature so that if a path exists, but is later changed, a 301 redirect is created to the new URL, is this also possible? (My first problem is the main issue, but thought I might ask this as well just in case it makes a difference)
How to handle asp.net mvc routing along with asp.net webform routing. I have merged my mvc app into my existing web application. In my web application i have implement routing as below:
routes.Add("View Product Details", new Route("Product/{City}/{Manufacturer}/{Name}/{ProductID}/{*ProductType}"));
Similarly i have implemented routing in mvc as below
routes.MapRoute("Product Details",
"Product/{City}/{Manufacturer}/{Name}/{ProductID}/{ProductType}",
new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "ProductDetails",
City= UrlParameter.Optional,
Manufacturer= UrlParameter.Optional,
Name= UrlParameter.Optional,
ProductID= UrlParameter.Optional,
ProductType= UrlParameter.Optional
});
How to handle both pages, as one is custom web form while other is asp.net mvc view?
Response.RedirectPermanent(Url); can redirect permanently to a url.
However, during my SEO process, I decided to change my routhing rule.
For example,
I change "/tag/{tag}-quotes" routing rule to "quoes-about/{tag}", but I don't want to lose all the traffic to old routing url.
What is the best way to handle this permanent redirection?
