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 have a need to run an application in classic mode for backwards compatibility with a specific application, and am trying to understand what kind of impact that will have on the performance of an MVC application that is running on the site. If we put a few static file maps (for .js, .css, .png, etc) above the ASP.NET wildcard map to reduce the amount of processing by the ASP.NET handler, will we be approaching the integrated mode in terms of performance?
The thing i'm primarily concerned with is any effect this might have on output caching. I understand that integrated mode might (?) allow for the output cache to handle non ASP.NET content, but that isn't really a concern. We're more interested in ensuring that the MVC application has full use of the output cache. Empirically i've found that the two configurations operate on par when things go well, but if the page references resources that are not available, the integrated mode tends to fail much more quickly than the classic mode (e.g. 500 ms vs 10 seconds), reducing 'hang time' on the page load.
am trying to write an HttpModule that will work in IIS7 with integrated pipeline mode AppPool. Within this module I need to access Session variables and to be able to capture the Session Start and End events. I have found a couple of articles on this topic that indicate the need to modify the behavior of the HttpHandler in PostAcquireRequestState to force the Session for the context to be initialized. The article I am using as a template is posted here:[URL]In my case I am getting the following error:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] System.Web.PipelineModuleStepContainer.GetEventCount(RequestNotification notification, Boolean isPostEvent) +30 System.Web.PipelineStepManager.ResumeSteps(Exception error) +1112
System.Web.HttpApplication.BeginProcessRequestNotification(HttpContext context, AsyncCallback cb) +113 System.Web.HttpRuntime.ProcessRequestNotificationPrivate(IIS7WorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context) +616
I believe that this error implies a problem with attempting to attach an event handler multiple times. I am aware that the modules Init function can be called more than once and have set a static initialization flag which ensures that I will only ever attach the event handler once.In the most condensed form my code is as follows:
public class HttpModule : IHttpModule, IRequiresSessionState
I currently work for a company that uses a combination of ASP.NET Webforms and legacy ASP pages for web development. This works fairly well for their current projects but I would like to convince / suggest to them to switch over to ASP.NET MVC since most of their codebase consists of wiring form elements to stored procedure parameters. Just using an ORM is also a possibility but I think it would be a good idea to use this opportunity to switch to an MVC framework.
However, I'm not sure how easy it will be to deploy an ASP.NET MVC app along side ASP.NET and Classic ASP code while the codebase is updated. First, I would like to ask if this is even possible. I've seen threads about running ASP.NET with Classic ASP and ASP.NET MVC with Webforms but not all three in the same application. They currently have Webforms and Classic ASP working together so the pitfalls associated with that are already solved.
I'm trying the above - Visual Web Developer 2008 express edition with SQL Server 2005 express using VB code behind on ASP.net 3.5 framework. I need to incorporate and amend some externally supplied classic asp pages, so switched to local IIS7 for compilation/run. I can run these pages, but am unable to amend them and have the changes reflected in what I see. Is this possible with this setup? Is there a configuration setup that I may need? Has anyone successfully done the above before?

View 1 RepliesFirst, a little background. I have written a custom HTTP compression module for ASP.NET. My development machine has Windows 7 Ultimate, which comes with IIS7. My production environment uses IIS6.
The problem I'm having is, Resource Expert Droid (redbot.org) tells me that I need to add a header to my response to properly support compression: "Vary: Accept-Encoding"
On IIS7 in integrated mode, it works properly. However, in classic mode, which is how my application ultimately runs, I cannot get my code to output this header using any of Response.AppendHeader(), Response.Cache.SetVaryByCustom(), or Response.Cache.VaryByHeaders.
we are running a complex 64-bit ASP.NET 2.0 application on W2008 R2 Standard and stress tests done with VS2008 Team System have indicated that integrated pipeline mode is 30% slower than classic mode.
We have compared the application traces extensively and it appears that integrated mode is uniformly slower than classic. That is, there is no single point that causes delays in integrated mode.
This is quite the opposite to everything Microsoft says about the integrated pipeline, so it might be that there is something quite wrong with the configuration of the integrated mode or the server. But we have not found any settings that would have any effect on this. Some complaints that Sharepoint and reporting services are slower in integrated mode can be found, but our application does not use them so this is quite likely unrelated.
We have recently migrated one of our legacy websites (classic ASP) to ASP.Net 4.0. I have already created a RegisterRoutes() in Global.asax (as per [URL]). I am concerned about SEO rankings and link breakages with external sites linking to old site.
Ideally, I will like to: Load all the routes from an XML file within RegisterRoutes() --> As there are 100's of pages with no naming convention followed. We have already created mappings within an excel spread sheet which can easily be exported to XML.Action Permanent redirects from within RegisterRoutes() --> to avoid having landing page(s) performing Redirects like Response.RedirectPermanent() and Response.RedirectToRoutePermanent. Has anyone run into a similar situation? Is there a better way of handling this situation?
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 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".
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 am running windows server 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5 (asp.net 4.0 - integrated pipeline mode) and a web forms application. now i want to work my site with the url routing feature.
i already defined some routes in the global.asax which work perfectly in my local environment with vs2010, but when i run the same things on my webserver i just get 404-errors from the browser.
here is my part of web.config:

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.
I have this code in Global.asa.cs:
[code]...
This is tuned to work for IIS 6: notice .aspx after {controller}How can i make the same code work on both IIS 6 and IIS 7 without changing any on the IIS side?
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:

Been hitting my head against a brick wall with this for days?
What's the best way to adjust the path destination for a routing table created in the global.asax Application_Start event based on the domain/sub domain/host? The following worked in IIS6, but with IIS7 the request object is decoupled from the Application_Start event and therefore does not work anymore:

I have web app written in .net 4.0 using url routing. It works fine in the development environment in VS 2010.But It's not working after publishing to iis7. on remote server i'm getting error HTTP Error 404.0 - Not FoundThe resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. I tried in virtual directory and it's not working.[URL]
View 1 RepliesThis may be obvious to many of you (hopefully!) I have a site under asp.net created using Visual Web Developer 2008 and MSSQL 2007 (all express editions)All ok so far.My PSP requires the addition of a couple of traditional ASP 'screens' to redirect payments to them. I cannot run this under VWD2008 development server as .asp are not allowed, so am looking to move to running it locally under IIS7 which is turned on.How do I alter the site to run on the IIS7 instance?
