Path is a class in the System.IO namespace so this will work System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(strCurrentPath)

HI,

THanks for the link - it makes sense, however when I convert the code to VB i get an error on the word path on the line "Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(strCurrentPath)" - it says that "name path is not declared" should it be a different word?

does that make sense or am i just doing something stupid?

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

        Dim strCurrentPath As String
        Dim strCustomPath As String
        strCurrentPath = Request.Path
        strCurrentPath = strCurrentPath.ToLower()
        ' the URL contains this folder name

        If strCurrentPath.IndexOf("/SomeSubFolder/") > -1 Then
            strCustomPath = "getContent.aspx?id=" & Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(strCurrentPath)

            ' rewrite the URL
            Context.RewritePath(strCustomPath)
        End If
    End Sub

thanks,

Scott

Using the global.asax is a pretty straightforward way to do this. Here is an example. http://www.csharpfriends.com/Articles/getTip.aspx?articleID=215

Url Rewriting - Some advice please? :-)

Hi All,

I was just wondering whether somebody could point me in the right direction.

I've developed a solcial networking website that uses profiles. I am wanting users to choose a nickname that can be used to access their profile.

e.g. www.website-address-here.co.uk/nickname-here

rather than having www.website-address-here.co.uk/Profile.aspx?profileID=xxx etc.

What would be the best way to achieve this? I'm not sure which would be the best solution.

Any advice would be great,

thanks very much,

Scott.
