Want to show only query string in url routing asp.net - asp.net

Question

I want to rewrite the URL with query string. Here is an example
e.g
www.test.com/user.aspx?Name=1234
I want to rewrite like
www.test.com/1234
It is working fine with www.test.com?Name=1234 to www.test.com/test/1234
I am doing it like:
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs on application startup
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("StoreRoute",
"{Name}",
"~/Webpages/Test/Demo.aspx");
}

Answer 1

public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
protected void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.MapPageRoute("UserRoute", "{Name}", "~/user.aspx");
}
protected void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
To access the value, use var v = Page.RouteData.Values["Name"];
A user navigating to www.test.com/1234 will be handled by www.test.com/user.aspx and the number 1234 will be passed through and accessed using the code snippet above.

If I am not mistaken, your problem is that you need to request a URL like www.test.com/1234 instead of www.test.com/test/1234.
This can be done using the route which you have mentioned in the global.asax file. But the issue here is that you have directly used a single dynamic parameter {Name} while defining your route. If you want to define any other route with a single parameter, then it will not work as explained below:
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("StoreRoute","{Name}","~/Webpages/Test/Demo.aspx");
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("StoreRoute1","{Name1}","~/Webpages/Test/Demo1.aspx");
In the above case, the second route will be overriden by the first route declared.
That is the reason, it's better to give a static parameter in the route declaration.
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("StoreRoute","test/{Name}","~/Webpages/Test/Demo.aspx");
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("StoreRoute1","test1/{Name1}","~/Webpages/Test/Demo1.aspx");
In the later case, the second route will not be overriden.
Now, if you only have to define a single route, then your code will work.
