Web Forms :: 4.0 WebForms Routing And Path Characters?
Apr 14, 2010
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.
<% Url.Action("Logon") %> the mvc framework generates /Account/Logon ({controller}/{action}) as path. '/Account/Logon' path is an absolute path. Is there a way to change is to a relative path, like Account/Logon or ../Account/Logon.
Also, when I use the Html.Beginform(), the mvc framework generates <form action="/account/logon"..., I want to change this to <form action="account/logon"...So, problem is that I want relative paths instead of absolute path.
The global root controller render a view in which I initialize AngularJS. It works for me, but I need to ignore routes for .css | .js | .*images_extensions* .
As I understood the following code doesn't work for this version of ASP.NET vNext:
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.
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
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...
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)
I have a WebForm website that loads content pages in the form of a web user control (.ascx) using the querystring.
Sample url:
http://mysite.com/?page=/members/default or http://mysite.com/default.aspx?page=/members/default
The content files would be located at ~/contents/members/default.ascx.
Would it be possible and how to use the URL Routing to accomplish http://mysite.com/page/members/default and more folders down.
I have tried putting in the Global.ascx file:
[Code]....
In the default.aspx page:
[Code]....
Everything works fine if content is in the root folder and the url is http://mysite.com/page/about ==> http://mysite.com/default.aspx?page=/about.
Errors when trying a content that is in a subfolder and the url is http://mysite.com/page/members/default ==> http://mysite.com/default.aspx?page=/members/default.
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 am trying to use a WebClient to get the content of another webform in my project. I am using a WebClient because I want to do this asynchronously, so if there is a better way to do that, I am open to it.My webclient, however, is erroring with the "Illegal characters in path" error. Looking at it in the debugger, I see that this is the URI string I am using:
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?
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.
I have implemented my own IRouteHandler for URL routing. For files without extension it will try to load the filename as a Page from the Pages directory with:
In an asp.net mvc application, I would like to be able to generate views, where the routing engine will create all URLs that point to a different site, i.e. change the application path.
How can I handle URLs with illegal characters such that they don't throw an unhandled exception? I tried an HttpModule but that doesn't catch the error. I'm using IIS6 and .Net 2.0.
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 did everything inside my web.config file mentioned in the following link:
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.
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.
