Hi all

just thought I would let you know that I have the solution!!!

The following:

HttpContext.Current.RewritePath("~/SomePage.aspx",false);

should be

HttpContext.Current.RewritePath("~/SomePage.aspx",true);

in Application_BeginRequest.

I wish i had spotted that sooner!

Cheers

URL Rewriting with Rewrite Path - Relative links Problem

Hi all

Not sure if this is the best category to post this, but hey, worth a try!

I have a new project in VS2008, in which I catch the requested path in Application_BeginRequest and send the user on to the relevant page.

This works fine.

However, I am having problems with page references etc.

For example, if i want my internal page links to work, i.e. href="category/product1/", then I need a base tag.
When i have a base tag, my css links are lost - so if i was on the page http://www.mysite.com/category/product1/, then the css link will be ../../stylesheet.css. This obviously does not work.

I can get the css to work by importing the css instead, but that still leaves a problem with my form's action attribute - it will be looking for ../../Product.aspx?ProductID=1.

I can also solve this problem by overriding the forms attribute.

I am still left with dynamic image urls (in the code behind) being relative to the main route!

However, I can solve all of these problems should I wish, BUT, my colleague who has exact same code but is using VS2005, can get his to work!!!! i.e. there is no ../../ before his css link for example!

This is very frustrating!

Does anyone have any ideas why - is it a difference in my VS settings, or is my IIS different?

Just so you know, my VS solution has multiple projects - a couple of class libraries plus a couple of websites, and I have some virtual folders for images etc.

The web app I am talking about has one Master page which is used in all cases.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Kind regards

Andy
