1.4 Generating User-Friendly URLs with UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewrite
ASP.NET applications often have the need to transfer data from one web form to another. In many cases, this is accomplished by passing QueryString variables in the URL. These URLs can become quite ugly, and, perhaps more importantly, search-engine spiders like the GoogleBot often don’t index them.
UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewrite is an open source component developed by Albert Weinert and Thomas Bandt that allows you to address this problem. Using UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewrite, you can easily turn your complicated URLs into easy-to-read, easy-to-remember, and easy-to-understand URLs. For example, the URL http://www.windevpowertools.com/ToolPage.aspx?ToolID=12 can become http://www.windevpowertools.com/Tools/12.
UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewrite works correctly with ASP.NET 2.0 features such as themes, master pages, cookieless sessions, output caching, and, most importantly, postbacks.
