Understanding Routing. Index Introduction One of the important feature of ASP.NET MVC is Routing.
The Routing infrastructure helps us to map the incoming requests to controllers and actions. The routing module ships with a separate assembly System.Web.Routing and that helps us to use the routing infrastructure outside ASP.NET MVC applications, like in Webforms. In this article we are going to see about the important details of routing infrastructure.
Basics All the routes used in an MVC application has to be defined in the Application_Start event of the Global.asax.cs. Public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( "Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } ); } Listing 1. The RegisterRoutes method is called from the Application_Start event, Custom ASP.NET Routing to an HttpHandler. Understanding and Using URL Routing with Web Forms.

In MVC, all URLs tend to look something like this because of the way content is served. Use the new URL routing in WebForms ASP.NET 4.0. Setting up ASP.NET webforms to use ASP.NET 4.0s new native routing setup was really easy to do on a recent project I completed.
There were only one or two gotcha's but once you know about them you won't have any problems setting routing up on your own projects. For the tutorial below I will assume that you have asp.net 4.0 installed and that you have an ASP.NET webforms site or project already created. For this example I will create routing for a very simple site that has the following pages: DefaultNewsNewsDetails (expects an ID value to be passed through to it)error We will setup our demo so that the above pages are routed to the following addresses: /home/news/news/news title/news id/error.

Frankly speaking, one of my clients asked me several times, "Why does this .aspx extension displays in the URL" and also told me that he does not like these long URLs.
