[RESOLVED] Url Re-writing

How do you url-rewrite with vb.net?

I want to create a profile page where users can go to: www.mysite.com/members/profiles.aspx?name=?? via www.mysite.com/members/(name)

You can use the open source Urlrewriter.net

I downloaded the above and added to a dll file.

I then created the following into my webconfig

vb Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

            </rewriter>
</configuration>

but when i type in

http://localhost:2573/runningprofiles/members/jarratt

i get the error The resource cannot be found.

Am i missing something?

Read this article

which method should i follow with the open source script?

Change this

Code:

---

  <rewriter>

                <rewrite url="~/members/(.+)-(.+)" to="~/members/profiles.aspx?MyTitleId=$2"/>

            </rewriter>

---

to

Code:

---

<rewriter>

                <rewrite url="~/members/profiles.aspx?name=(.+)"  to="~/members/$1" />

            </rewriter>

---

I gave that ago and still get "The resource cannot be found. "

I have added intelligencia.UrlRewriter.dll TO THE BIN FOLDER

What is the url after re writing ?

well i type in http://localhost:2573/runningprofiles/members/runner

and it does not even re writing

Here it is like ~runningprofiles/members but we re write using

~/members/profiles.aspx?name=(.+)

You need to change that one. And from url type

http://localhost:2573/runningprofile...px?name=runner

and see what happens

<rewriter>

<rewrite url="~runningprofiles/members/Profiles.aspx?name=(.+)" to="~/members/$1" />

</rewriter>

you mean like this ^^

http://localhost:2573/runningprofile...px?name=runner

i tried this and no re-write

Did you get the page opened while opening the url ?

http://localhost:2573/runningprofile...px?name=runner

yes i get this page:

http://runningprofiles.com/images/thepage.jpg

Can you please post the modified config file ?

Moved to ASP.Net.
