ASP.NET - WebForm - URLs Broken

[dday9]

I am supporting a legacy VB.NET ASP.NET project that uses web forms

While they have many .aspx pages with their own unique filename, somehow all of the routes get resolved master.aspx.

Let's say that the user is on an search entity page, they go to edit an entity which redirects them to the update entity page, if they hit the back button then they're always routed a default page instead of back to the search entity page.

Being that I have zero experience with WebForms, what should I be looking for that could cause that sort behavior?

My hangman page uses webforms. It’s a single user game. If more than one player is accessing the web app at the same time, things start looking a little buggy… I’m currently in the process of rewriting some web apps…

I don't hate web forms but the issue with this project is that it was essentially cowboyed by a single developer for so long that there is no consistency and this is a huge project.

The first thing I do when I go to touch any page is to turn Option Strict on and make the necessary changes.

But the URL staying the same is one "feature" I cannot figure out how he implemented.

I think, if I remember correctly that there is also a setting in either web.config or the other...Err what's it called...Err global.asax I think, that has a default redirect page.
