Is it advisable to implement url routing for an asp.net(webforms) website which is one year old... What are the factors to be considered before implementing....
Edit: It is a web based product website developed my company and users should pay for using it...
I'm trying to wrap my mind around the way ASP.NET MVC implements routing.
From what is my current understanding, it seems my route string much have a "{controller}" and "{action}", otherwise it doesn't work?
How would I define the route that using a SearchController and Search action taking both SearchKeywords and SearchCaseSensitive arguments had the following URL?
domain/SearchKeywords/CaseSensitive
Even simpler, how do I map domain to controller SearchController and to Search?
We have a shopping cart product. I am trying to implement ASP.Net 4 URL Routing. The problem I have is with image and other resource folders. I can resolve all the links that are defined within the pages and in the code behind. But, some of the links come from html text entered by users.
Using absolute path is not an option. There are some work arounds. But, I want to avoid those work-arounds, because we don't want to burden the users. Is there a way to achieve this through URL Routing?
E.g. The image path derived from the rewritten page: [URL]
Is there a way to achieve this without any patch work?
i want to avoid displaying page as [URL] It should show as [URL]....

View 2 RepliesI am using ASP.NET 4.0 Web Forms. I learned that, in order to optimize my Web Application for Search Engine, I must implement custom 404 page. But the way Microsoft tell us to implement custom 404 (within Web.Config file), that is not good for SEO. Microsoft says,
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">
<error statusCode="404" redirect="Page-Not-Found.aspx" />
</customErrors>
But when the page is not found, IIS issue 302 redirect to Page-Not-Found.aspx page which is not good. So, I implemented custom 404 page using Routing technique that is available in ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 and 4.0. I used the following router in Global.asax page
I am using visual studio 2010 and have created a website for a client. The problem I am having, other than enabling flash video playback which I am researching, is how to make the user accounts expire after a year. He wants users to pay for a year subscription to the website to access the videos, but I can't figure out how to make them good for only a year. And as an aside, if I could make the videos "self-destruct" after 48 hours when downloaded.

View 1 RepliesI am doing some work with Web.Routing, using it to have friendly urls and nice Rest like interfaces to a site that is essentially rendered by a single IHttpHandler. There are no webforms, the handler generates all the html/json and writes it as part of process request.
This works well for things like /Sites/Accounting for example, but I can't get it to work for the site root, i.e. '/'.
I have tried registering a route with an empty string, with 'default.aspx' (which is the empty aspx file I keep in my root folder to play nice with cassini and iis). I set RouteExistingFiles to false explicitly, but whatever I do when hitting the root url it still opens default.axpx, which has no code it inherits from, and contains a simple h1 tag to show that I've hit it.
I don't want to change the default file to redirect to a desired route, I just want the equivalent of a 'default' route that is applied when no other routes are found, similar to MVC.
For reference, the previous version of the site didn't use Web.Routing, but had a handler referenced in the web.config that was perfectly capable of intercepting requests for the root or default.aspx.
Specs: ASP.NET 3.5sp1, C#, no webforms, MVC or openrasta. Plain old IHttpHandlers.
Many hosting companies let you define which page will be shown to the user if the user goes to a page that does not exist. If you define some .aspx page then it will execute and be shown.
My question is, why not use this for routing. since I can parse the users URL and then do a server.transfer to the page I want. I checked and there is no redirect sent to the client and the http headers are HTTP/1.1 200 OK.
So, is this a good idea for servers that don't have ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 or if you are not using MVC?

View 13 RepliesWhen I run my website on local server asp.net routing works very well, but when I deploy it on a remote server ( asp 4.0 integrated pipeline ) it always returns with 404 error.
My url route is very simple, a stored procedure gets image's id and then displays it.
Global.asax:

View 1 RepliesWe have my hosting company installed SSL at the "root" of our web site. I tried to force https:// to my web site and encounter warning below from IE. If user click yes, then IE messup all Jquery tabs of my web sites.. If user anser No then things work OK.
Chrome browser works OK without this type of warning. It would be "undesiable" to force user to "edit" their IE's Internet option to get around this IE warning because several users and not "computer/internet savy" to know what to do.
Is there a way that I can implement SSL for my entire site www.mydomain.com for example and avoid this warning below? I guess that I have a couple of links to point to facebook/Twitter and IE complain about it.
This webpage contains content that will not be deliverred using a secured HTTPS connection which could compromise the security of the entire web page?

It has some limitations
Search with special characters is not working.
Pdf and word documents are not searching.
Not able to high light the searched text.
If I am implementing this in master page then child title is not displayed in result page.
Requirement:
I need to implement search result should be like this [URL] In description the search text must be highlighted.
Note: I need to implement this with coding not any 3rd party tool (I know lots of 3rd party website which do free hosting but they will post there adds and logo). Moreover i dont want to use any database for this internal searching.
I have seen ASP.NET MVC Without Visual Studio, which asks, Is it possible to produce a website based on ASP.NET MVC, without using Visual Studio?
Here's an analogy. If I want to create an ASP.NET Webforms page, I load up my favorite text editor, create a file named Something.aspx. Then I insert into that file, some boilerplate:
[code]....
And that is a working ASPNET page, created in a text editor. Drop it into an IIS virtual directory, and it's working.
What do I have to do, to make a basic,World ASPNET MVC app, in a text editor? (without Visual Studio)
Suppose I want a basic MVC app with a controller, one view, and a simple model. What files would I need to create, and what would go into them?
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC site where I want to limit how often authenticated users can use some functions of the site.
Although I understand how rate-limiting works fundamentally, I can't visualize how to implement it programatically without creating a major code smell.
If it matters, all of these functions are currently expressed as Actions that only accept HTTP POST. I may eventually want to implement rate-limiting for HTTP GET functions as well, so I'm looking for a solution that works for all such circumstances.
