Hi all ,

I have used the urlrewriter.net to rewrite a URL, so a URL like this :

Projects.aspx/ProjectId=4 became: Project/trains-4.aspx.

But my problem is that i need to get the title from the url which is "trains" here.
So iam using : Request.PathInfo, but it is not working.So is there any way to get the "trains" from the url .

Note: the request.querystring gets the initial url which is:"Projects.aspx/ProjectId=4"

Thanks in advance.

I haven't used urlrewriter.net but URL rewriting works by specifying a rewrite rule in server configurations i.e. if you are using IIS7 then URL Rewrite tool is used for the purpose and only server has access to the rule. So I would imagine no matter what you do in C#, you would only ever get the long/original URL and not the rewritten one. The rewrite URL is just a regular expression which replaces old URL with the new one at the server level, so your C# code doesn't quite get to read the new URL as the server just internally re-directs you to the new URL. You can may be try specifying a reverse write rule or just send the new URL as a GET parameter with the original URL (not sure how exactly, but a rough idea).

See if this does anything to help you : URL Rewriting in ASP.NET[^]

EDIT: something more for you : URL Rewriting with ASP.NET[^]

Turns out, if you have a finite number of URLs to rewrite then you can define them in the web.config and then u can read in your C# code using the ConfigurationManager class. Hack around with it.

Cheers...

You are using some terminology that is confusing me, but I suggest comparing the values in Request.Url and Request.RawUrl. Perhaps one of those has the value you are looking for.
