I am interested in the architecture of a CMS where i can pass a full URL instead of a query string. I would like to make a site that could handle a request to any page... Say'http://www.my-domain.com/directory/page.aspx'and have the resulting response deliver a generic page/file.I would like the request to be passed through an XML document where i could store page names and the corresponding file to render content...
View 1 RepliesI've tried to implement two different solutions that use either and HttpModule or and HttpHandler to do URLRewriting for me. These work great on IIS 7 within my local development environment in Integrated and Classic modes. Currently the production server is running IIS 6.0 on a shared hosting environment. It appears that the request at least hits both the Module and Handler as the URL above redirect to the particular friendly url, but it doesn't redirect and hit hte Module or Handler again. Instead I get a 404 error for the friendly URL.

View 6 RepliesI am moving a site from one godaddy account to another godaddy account. Same ASP.NET 4 IIS 7 settings.
What I notice is that all the friendly urls like home.aspx _login.aspx_ return a 404 ERROR, as if the rewrite was not working. As a desperate attempt, I switched from urlFormat="humanfriendly" to urlFormat="searchfriendly" and it started working. But humanfriendly, that allows short and clean urls won't work at all.
I need to render a few DropDownLists on my page, allowing the user to select different Categories & Locations so as to return different result sets based on their selection.
However, I want each of the resulting selections to be crawlable. I know I could just render every possible Category, Location etc as standard HTML links on the page, which perform a GET request to the specified URL, but if possible I'd like to contain all these options within a DropDownList to keep things less cluttered.
If I were using MVC I would consider wrapping that small section of the page in a GET form, with each ListItem value being the destination URL (though I wonder if even this approach would be properly crawlable?).
I am using Web Forms though and am just having trouble trying to come up with a solution.
I've created a Dynamic Data project with an Entity Framework model. It works nicely. But, right now it shows all my database tables with the db column names - which aren't always the most friendly (e.g. address_line_1). How can I got about giving these more friendly column titles that will display to the end user?

I have an app with alot of anchor tags in it. I wanna see what ones a user clicked on during a session. I thought aspnet automatically saved that information here:
string sessID = System.Web.SessionState.SessionID;
But there is no such thing as SessionID in the SessionState namespace. Is this information saved automatically, if so how do I access it? Here is my simple html
<body> <form id="form1" runat="server">
<div> Page 2
<a href="{URL}">Visit W3Schools</a>
<br /> <a href="[URL]">Yahoos</a>
</div> </form> </body>
I have a user specified URL that has a wildcard in it, e.g. http://site.com/project/*/accountIn this case * could be anything, a number, a character or anything else. I want to get regex that would find a match for that. The location of the wildcard * changes and could be http://site.com/user/*/title or http://site.com/user/*/*/*/delete (just as an example, depends on the site ... so all possibilities should be supported) Then comparing that with the current URL to see if it is a match.
View 2 Replieslook at this sample link address: (weather.gov) [URL] if you view page source in browser, you can see that it shows data in XML format (usng xsl.?). I need to implement a simple web page like that. I think that web site uses XML XSL I'm going to implement a web application in asp.net which will use data stored in sql database (or xml database or web service) and show these information like other normal web sites but in xml format in nice UI (using xsl?).That Weather website is only a sample to show what i want to do (i will not use any data from that site, my application is different).My requirement is being able to view page source only in XML format.Now I'm clear that xsl is the solution for that, but considering to use this method in asp.net.(use xml/xsl in dynamic asp.net pages) My Question? It is important for me to make the web page output in xml format(visible in xml format in page view source) but looks user friendly for users. 1.how can i do it in asp.net ?

View 9 RepliesI was discussing load-balancing with a colleague at lunch. I admit that I know very little about this topic. We were discussing the various ways of maintaing session in a ASP.NET application -- none of which suited the high performance load balancing that he was looking for. What about Silverlight? says I. As far as I know it is stateless, you've got the app running in the browser and you've got services on the server that feed/process data. Does Silverlight totally negate the need for Session state management? Is it more friendly to load-balancing? Is it something in between?

I have to create 2 print friendly buttons for a page, 1 is to create a print friendly version of a page inside a div and the second to create the same but the area to print is instead inside an <asp:Panel>.
I assume using javascript to open a new window and then displaying the div or panel would be the best way, I've done this in the past but dont recall all the details.
Does anyone have any good samples for doing something like this?

Are there any plans to substitute Html helper extensions code with something similar to the ASP.NET markup in webforms? I know there are alternative view engines, but I'm just looking for something simple like <%= Html.ActionLink("controller, "action")
%> with something like <asp:LinkButton controller="somectrl" action="someactn"/>.
I could probably create controls to wrap helper extensions, but just wondering if it's already in the works.
