What I have tried:

Global.asax.cs

C#

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            urlRouting(RouteTable.Routes);
        }
        
        void urlRouting(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.MapPageRoute("IC", "IC", "~/EN/en-ic.aspx");
            routes.MapPageRoute("brands", "brands", "~/EN/brands.aspx");
        }

assign href in master page

C#

if (Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
  brands_li.HRef = "brands";
  li_IC.HRef = "IC";
}

web.config

XML

<!-- routing -->
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" >
      <remove name="UrlRoutingModule" />
      <add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
    </modules>
    <!--end of routing-->
<handlers>
<add name="UrlRoutingHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="UrlRouting.axd" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</handlers>

Solution 1

Could you try below -

//Global.asax
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}

public void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.MapPageRoute("IC", "IC", "~/Page1.aspx");
}

Have your link as -

<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkLC" runat="server" OnClick="lnkLC_Click">IC_PAGE_TEST</asp:LinkButton>

and then have your event as -

  protected void lnkLC_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.RedirectToRoute("IC");
}

Are you trying with asp:linkbutton or anchor tag? I tried with link button n worked

Samira Radwan 22-Mar-17 12:46pm

the above piece did not worked for you? Can you update your code as tried.

Samira Radwan 22-Mar-17 14:15pm

what i found out the problem is not in your code or mine, the problem is global.asax is on the root and all my aspx files and master pages are inside a folder called (EN) not on the root. Routing works fine with any page/form that located on the main root of the project not files located inside folders!!

I don't see any issue as below worked for me when tried moving my files in folders.

routes.MapPageRoute("IC", "IC", "~/Folder1/Folder2/Page1.aspx");
