I'm using ASP.NET 4 WebForms, and can't find information about creating wildcard subdomains.
For example, url user22.example.com must point to example.com/users/user22.
May i implement this feature only with Routing (without IIS url-rewrite, or another external tools)?
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 have a requirement to add specific functionality to an asp.net mvc2 web site to provide addtional SEO capability, as follows:
The incoming URL is plain text, perhaps a containing a sentence as follows
"http://somesite.com/welcome-to-our-web-site" or "http://somesite.com/cool things/check-out-this-awesome-video"
In the MVC pipeline, I would like to take this URL, strip off the website name, look up the remaining portion in a database table and call an appropriate controller/view based on the content of the data in the table. All controllers will simply take a single parameter bieng the unique id from the lookup table. A different controller may be used depnding on different urls, but this must be derieved from the database.
If the url cannot be resolved a 404 error needs to be provided, if the url is found but obsolete then a 302 redirect needs to be provided.Where the url is resolved it must be retained in the browser address bar.
I have had a look at the routing model, and custom routing and can't quite work out how to do it using these, as the controller would not be predefined, based on a simple route. I am also unsure of what to do to provide 404, 302 back to the headers also.Perhpas I need a custom httpmodule or similar but going there went beyond my understanding.
I am using MVC 2.0 to create my application,my problem i s related to the routing. Actually in my application each user have required seperate subdomain,like
www.example.com/user1/ ,www.example.com/user2/ ...etc.the default domain is www.example.com.So how can i make it possible with routing in mvc.
i have tried like this,
routes.Add(new Route("{id}", new RouteValueDictionary(new { controller = "User", action = "login", id = " " }), new MvcRouteHandler()));
var defaults = new RouteValueDictionary(
new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
routes.Add(new Route("{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults, new MvcRouteHandler()));
But the problem is that it take deafult (www.example.com) directly to user login page.I want the default page as Home/index and when www.example.com/user1/ it will go to user login page.
What I want to do is take traffic that is going to shop.mywebsite.com and redirect or rewrite (I'm not sure of the terminology) the domain to be www.mywebsite.com/shop. Both shop.* and www.* are separate web applications (nopCommerce and Umbraco respectively) that don't seem to cooperate when I've tried to nest them. Both applications are in a Server 2008 R2/IIS 7.5 environment.
I've searched around stackoverflow and what I've found is a lot of answers to mapping the other direction (ie subfolder to a subdomain) but that's not what I'm looking for as far as I understand the problem.
The end goal is to combine the SEO reputation of the shop subdomain into the www subdomain. I readily admit that I might have this all backwards and am willing to try any suggestions I'm offered.
I have an app with multiple subdomains, subone.parent.com, subtwo.parent.com.
I have a logon page at parent.com/login. When a user logs in I redirect them to the proper domain based on which one they are a member of. This works fine.
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuth...
string encTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
var cookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encTicket);
cookie.Domain = subone.parent.com
Repsonse.Cookies.Add(cookie)
This properly authenticates the user for subone.parent.com and not subtwo.parent.com. However I would like to do the following.
If the user goes back to parent.com, I would like to know that they are logged in and redirect them back to subone.parent.com.
Is there a best practice for accomplishing this? Or do I have to set another cookie for parent.com?
I'm working in asp.net mvc if it matters.
I tried everything I could find, but still does not work on IIS routing.

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:

But I am still getting the above error.
What else am I supposed to do fix the error?
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)
My students are working on an ASP.net VB application for a Web Programming competition and we are having problems with a page where we want an URL string to return all values from our database.
Here is the page:
[URL]
If you use the jobs by category menu on the left side, if you select a job category (ie retail) it will pull up all the jobs from that category. By using a query in the URL like this:
[URL]
What we need is the URL that would show all jobs regardless of the category. I'm not sure how to do this with asp.net VB. I'm sure it's probably not all that hard, we just don't know the syntax to make it happen.
Is there any setting changes in IIS to support wildcard character? I am running a web application but IIS does not support wildcard character.
View 1 RepliesI'm using asp.net routing in a webforms app.
I would like to achieve the following url format:
http://[domain]/{parent-category}/{sub-category}/{sub-category}
where the right most category is available as a route value.
Currently I have achieved this with the following route:
routes.MapPageRoute(
"category-browse",
"{*category}",
"~/category.aspx"
);
This will pass all of the categories i.e. "trainers/running/nike-running-trainers" so I can grab the last one with a bit of string manipulation.
Is there a better way of doing this?
I am using a chat script I found for free online.
It allows a profanity filter by using string replace:
ex: ChatText.Replace("hell", "!@#$")
is there a way to do a wildcard replace? It doesn't catch the word "HELL" or "Hell" for example.
I'm working in a shared hosting environment, so my access to IIS is limited, but I need to know if I even need full access to IIS to use extension-less URLs the way I'm using them.
Basically I'm just calling a RewritePath() in the Application_BeginRequestion() method in the Global.asax.cs file... something like this:
[code]...
will this require Wildcard Mapping in IIS?
Linq add wildcard in the where clause dynamically I have a query, i.e.
var query = from r in context.company .....
then have some business logic and based on the validation I want to add dynamically a where clause
if(a == "1")
query = query.Where(r=> r.Name = Fullname); //works!!
else if(a == "2)
query = query.Where SqlMethods.Like(r=> r.Name,"%"+Fullname+"%"); //fails to compile , the r.Name is not found..
Here is an interesting problem... I have configured wildcard domains on my production site and will be using it as a customer identifier. This allows me to display the right banner/css/logos for each customer simply be pulling out the wildcard prefix (eg. CompanyABC.website.com will be displayed the logos and branding related to CompanyABC).
But how do I test this on my local Visual Studio 2010 installation? In production the site loads COMPANY.website.com etc., but locally I can only use the flat http://localhost address.
I have an application that uses EntityDataSource in many places. In the EDS, I manually build the Where clause based on user input from TextBox'es.
I would like the user to be able to enter "*" (asterisks) instead of "%" when querying data.
Is there an easy as using Entity SQL or the EDS itself to do a search/replace? I know I could actually change the TextBox after the data is entered, but when the user sees his text was changed from an * to a % I don't think he will understand.
I have tried using the T-SQL Replace command and doing something like this:
<asp:EntityDataSource ID="EDSParts" runat="server"
ConnectionString="name=TTEntities" DefaultContainerName="TTEntities"
EnableFlattening="False" EntitySetName="Parts"[code]....
But I get a "Server tag is not well formed" message. I can't find an equivalent "replace" function in the Entity SQL reference....
I have a table in the db with one column containing a URL like http://site.com/users/*/profile.I am given a URL (like http://site.com/users/234/profile) and want to select all the rows in the db that match the url (in this case * is a wildcard).
I was thinking of using Regex to do this, by replacing the * with regex for any character. But am unsure as to what the SQL or LINQ code should be for the selection.
I had a look through some of the older questions, but I can't find anything.I have a Wildcard HttpHandler on my web app which is processing the url and working out if it can do anything with itIf it can't, then the StaticFile Handler should pick it up and just serve it as a static file (like an html file).The problem is, it's going through the Wildcard handler, then seemingly not going to the StaticFileHander. Is there something I need to do to the Wildcard handler, or in the web config?This is my web.config:
<add name="Wildcard" path="*" verb="*" type="Rewriter.RewriterHttpModule"
modules="IsapiModule" requireAccess="None" allowPathInfo="false"
preCondition="" responseBufferLimit="4194304" />
<add name="StaticFile" path="*.*" verb="*"
modules="StaticFileModule,DefaultDocumentModule,DirectoryListingModule"
scriptProcessor="%windir%Microsoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_isapi.dll"
resourceType="File" requireAccess="Read" allowPathInfo="false" preCondition=""
responseBufferLimit="4194304" />
I'm trying to use a RegularexpressionValidator to match an IP address (with possible wildcards) for an IP filtering system.I'm using the following Regex:
"([0-9]{1,3}\.|\*\.){3}([0-9]{1,3}|\*){1}"
Which works fine when running it in LINQPad with Regex.Matches, but doesn't seem to work when I'm using the validator.Does anyone have a suggestion as to either a better Regex or why it would work in test but not in situ?

View 1 RepliesI have a REST WCF service defined as follows:

With the following web.config:
[code]....
EDIT: You can all reproduce this by creating a new WCF Service in VS2008 (new Project > WCF Service Application). Browse to the dummy method ('GetData')... you will notice it returns 400... that's fine because it shows it's still forwarding to WCF. However, if you enable wildcard mapping in IIS6 you will now get a 404, meaning WCF is no longer intercepting the request.
Is there a way to do a
"select * as"
and rename all columns with some prefix, rather than having to name columns individually? Or better yet, when doing a join and getting all columns from both tables, how do you identify them uniquely in the VB where some columns have the same name?
My website [URL]The actual path for es.argyletv.com is argyletv.com/es/. You can access the same files for that website by typing in essentially 2 different addresses, which is bad for search engine optimization. For instance, es.argyletv.com/entry.aspx yields the same result as es.argyletv.com/es/entry.aspx.
I am trying to determine when the subdomain directory is included in the url, so that I can remove it and redirect the user to the url without the directory via a 301 redirect. The problem that I have is that:Request.Url.ToString();[URL]I've also tried to use Request.RawUrl.ToString(); and pretty much every type of output in the request class to no avail. What I need, is to be able to determine what is being shown in the address bar, so that I can direct the user to the correct URL if need be.
