Thought I would share this, not because it is difficult, but because of a pitfall that I fell into.

Also, I couldn't find any discussion of coding a 301 redirect with ASP.net, and it is a common task for keeping search engines like Google happy, etc.

The point is that

Response.StatusCode = 301;
Response.Redirect( s ); // No good !!

does not work. I am not 100% sure why, but presumably Redirect sets the status code intenally.

What you need instead is

Response.StatusCode = 301;
Response.RedirectLocation = s;

I have found that the following method also works:

private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Response.StatusCode = 301;
  Response.AddHeader("Location", "your url here");
  Response.Write("<html><body>Page moved permanently to <a href=\"your url here\">New</a></body></html>");
  Response.End();
}
