URL rewriting is the process of intercepting an incoming Web request and automatically redirecting it to a different URL.

To understand completely follow below link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972974.aspx

In this article I am going make a simple example which will take only few minutes and you will learn how to achieve URL Rewriting.

I believe developer doesn’t have much time to read a complete article of 20 pages.

Here we go

Step 1
Create a table
(
POSTID INT,
TITLE VARCHAR(255),
BODY TEXT
)

CREATE TABLE TESTTABLE

Insert some dummy values

INSERT INTO TESTTABLE (POSTID,TITLE,BODY) VALUES (1,‘ACCORDIAN CONTROL WITH SQL SERVER’,
‘ACCORDIAN CONTROL WITH SQL SERVER CONNECTIVITY JOGGEE
MADE A ARTICLE AND THAT IS THE BEST I THINK SO.’)
GO
INSERT INTO TESTTABLE (POSTID,TITLE,BODY) VALUES (2,‘Mouse over effect’,
‘This is so simple and can found thousand places but I tried to make it more easier who
doesnt know the different between or anchor.’)
GO
?
SELECT * FROM TESTTABLE

STEP – 2
Create a stored procedure
Create PROCEDURE PROC_TEST
AS
BEGIN
SELECT
‘’ + TITLE + ‘’ AS ‘TITLE’,
BODY
FROM TESTTABLE
END

GO

Procedure for Detail Page.
CREATE PROCEDURE PROC_TESTDETAIL
@ID INT
AS
BEGIN
SELECT
POSTID,
TITLE,
BODY
FROM TESTTABLE
WHERE POSTID = @ID
END
GO

Database work is finished, let move to ASP.NET project means Website Programming.
Create a Website, Ajax Enabled or not its up to you, No matter what you choose.

In a default webpage write below code. I am pasting the complete code for Default page. where i am using DataList direct binding with two field.

In a Code Behind Past below code.

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClientPartial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.PageProtected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me

Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me .Load
If IsPostBack = False Then
Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection
Dim sqlCmd As New SqlCommand(“PROC_TEST”, sqlConn)
Dim objDA As New SqlDataAdapter
Dim DT As New DataTable
‘******************************************************************************************************
‘I have mentioned this connection string in the web.config Change it with appropriate values.
‘
‘****************************************************************************************************************
sqlConn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(“connString”).ConnectionString
‘opening a connection
sqlConn.Open()
sqlCmd.Connection = sqlConn
sqlCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
objDA.SelectCommand = sqlCmd
‘populate data table
objDA.Fill(DT)
‘bind data
DataList1.DataSource = DT.DefaultView
DataList1.DataBind()
‘disposing all the declared objects.
objDA.Dispose()
objDA = Nothing
sqlConn.Close()
sqlConn = Nothing
sqlCmd.Dispose()
sqlCmd.Connection.Close()
sqlCmd = Nothing
End If
End Sub
End Class

Code for Detail WebPage.

Create a folder named “Detail” and add one more Default.aspx webpage. Please follow the instructions.

In a Code Behind Just Copy Paste
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Partial Class Detail_Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

If Not IsPostBack Then

Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection

Dim sqlCmd As New SqlCommand(“PROC_TESTDETAIL” , sqlConn)
Dim objDA As New SqlDataAdapter

Dim DT As New DataTable

‘Here you can specify your connection string.

sqlConn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(

“connString” ).ConnectionString

‘opening a connection

sqlConn.Open()

sqlCmd.Connection = sqlConnsqlCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(“@ID”, SqlDbType.Int).Value = Request.QueryString(“ID” )
objDA.SelectCommand = sqlCmd

‘populate data table

objDA.Fill(DT)

‘bind data

lblTitle.Text = DT.Rows(0)(“Title” )

txtBody.Text = DT.Rows(0)(“Body” )

‘disposing all the declared objects.

objDA.Dispose()

objDA =Nothing

sqlConn.Close()

sqlConn =Nothing

sqlCmd.Dispose()

sqlCmd.Connection.Close()

sqlCmd =Nothing

End If
End Sub
End Class
Add Global.asax file in the project on the root

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
‘ Code that runs on application startup
End Sub
Sub Application_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
‘ Code that runs on application shutdown
End Sub
Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
‘ Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
End Sub
Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
‘ Code that runs when a new session is started
End Sub
Sub Session_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
‘ Code that runs when a session ends.
‘ Note: The Session_End event is raised only when the
‘ sessionstate mode
‘ is set to InProc in the Web.config file. If session
‘mode is set to StateServer?
‘ or SQLServer, the event is not raised.
End Sub

Protected Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim Old As String
Dim MovingPath As String
Dim IncomingURL As HttpContext
Dim StartingIndex As Integer
Dim ID As String
IncomingURL = HttpContext.Current
Old = IncomingURL.Request.Path
‘here you can filtered with if condition if you don’t
want any directory to be caught and redirected some where
If Regex.IsMatch(Old, “/Detail/”) Then
Old = Old.Replace(“.ASPX”, “”)
StartingIndex = Old.IndexOf(“~”)
ID = Old.Remove(0, StartingIndex + 1)
MovingPath = “~/Detail/Default.aspx?id=” + ID.ToString
IncomingURL.RewritePath(MovingPath)
End If
End Sub

In a web.config Add this key

Detail Page
