I am new to web pages.
I made a ASP.Net website(Razor) but here WebSecurity uses cookies and I didn't wanted to use inbuilt features..
Hence I made a new ASP.NET Empty WebSite and then added a Layout page & a content page..
Now when I browse it with in the browser it shows extension .cshtml... This is not the case when I made a ASP.NET website(Razor), they show no extension.
My Question:
Is there a way I can hide .cshtml extension or show .html instead.?
Can I edit WebSecurity default methods like it saves userId in cookies I want to save it in Session..?
Make sure any internal links in your application do not include the file extension. Then the extension will not appear in the browser address bar. If you right-click on an individual file in the File Explorer within WebMatrix and choose "Launch in browser", the extension will be shown, but that shouldn't matter.
If you want to know more about the standard routing behaviour in the Web Pages framework, I wrote an article about it here: http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/165/WebMatrix-URLs-UrlData-and-Routing-for-SEO

I am taking over an MVC project for which there is no source code. All I have to do is remove all the existing functionalities of the MVC based website leaving just one page alone. Right now, I have decompiled the dll from production and I have a 'not so useful' type of code in my system which needs to be wired up completely.
I am wondering if it's possible to hide all the pages and hyperlinks through web.config just leaving the required page as such? The website looks like below:
I want to keep only the "State Fact Sheets" page removing rest of the pages. is it possible at all to do this in web.config file?

Trying to revamp my global error handling, and running into the mess that is ASP.net error handlers.
I would really like to consolidate my solution as much as possible. So if possible I'd like to use the same pages to display from httpErrors and customErrors. I'd also like to use the appropriate Layout pages if possible. But it seems that if I want to use some kind of dynamic page as a custom error page that it needs to be *.aspx. Why is that? Especially now that we have Razor Web Pages?
PS. This is for an MVC (.net v4.7 ie not asp core) Site
If you are using the .cshtml file as a Razor Web Page, then can't you give the URL of the file, excluding the .cshtml? As per the table here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/razor-pages/?tabs=visual-studio
A standalone .cshtml file is will normally depend on a Code behind file (if using Razor Web Pages) or a MVC Controller Action to provide it with its data. I guess this is why you are not allowed to redirect directly to one.
I made an ASP.NET MVC application which allows user to create dynamic websites. I need to add feature which will allow to download from server off-line version of choosen website as static html files with menu, hyperlinks, images, documents etc. It should work similar to applications such as Teleport Pro, but I have to choose from Admin Panel which content should be export.
Client wants to burn static website on CD, save on pendrive.
Do you have any ideas how to begin? Please help.
I currently have implemented that in a current project...
User is able to change anything in the frontend and at the end he can publish and download the offline files... the site subscribe users and show all prizes, winners and more information about that campaign.
All was done in ASP.NET MVC3 under .NET4 and hosted in AppHarbor.
It's composed at several applications but for what you want, you develop the Backend and the Frontend, and to generate the static files, simple use the Frontend to grab the full HTML
As an example, I can show what 2 users did...
Callme.dk did http://callme.julekal.info and
Sony Nordic did http://sony.julekal.info
plus, you can simply point custom domains to it as well like http://sonynordicxmas.net/
To publish and generate all files:
one part of the editing:
So I give the users, offline access (through the .zip file), online access (through the frontend application) and the ability of using custom domains...
I think the only way this might be possible is if you go to every single page and then use your browser to "Save" the web page script and all.
However this causes several issues;
You never quite get everything and you need to massage the HTML produced, dowload all the images etc to get the page to look right
Each html file now has an associated folder with the same name and each time you do this you will get another html file with a folder. You can combine all the folders into a single one but that leads me to item 3.
You will need to edit each html file to clear up any pathing issues if you want to share a single source folder.
Data is no longer dynamic!
You need to, if you want to link all the pages to each other, edit every single html file and resolver the anchor tags.
This is too much work and I think it actually breaks the true requirement.
Don't do it! :)
i have to add one page to an existing asp.net webforms website.
this will be added at runtime and i'm not allowed to redeploy the entire webapplication / website.
is the (recommended or only) solution to move the code behind code to the aspx file, or do i have other options?
i can't put code in the dll's, and dynamicly runned .cs files are only in the case of a website and not in the case of a webapplication, am i right?
and putting the code from my code behind in de aspx file will always work?
actually as long as their page link to yours via URL you web page doesn't necessary have to be in the same project, unless you're trying to reuse something.
Else technically your project is fine as a standalone and they can just link to yours.
Unless you're worried about the URL then you would have to either use an iframe or some other URL rewrite.
Just for reference: One solution would be to use a dynamic proxy and intercept and extend the existing webapp. Though this approach might be a little too involved for what you're trying to achieve.

Mentioned stackoverflow only as an example, but if you look above the URL for ask is
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask
which means /ask is a subdirectory, but they also do this for the specific question pages. How do you code this in .NET?
Not a code question as much as a technique. I know this is great for SEO, but how do you create a site so that every "page" is its own directory? Dynamically.
Do you have a template or a hidden redirect???
How?? :)
It's termed URL rewriting:

EDIT: As #Justice points out, StackOverflow uses Routing.
StackOverflow uses something called Routing, which comes with .NET 3.5 SP1. Routing is a popular feature of a number of MVC frameworks, such as ASP.NET MVC, Ruby on Rails, and a number of Python and PHP frameworks.
Stack Overflow was built using ASP.NET MVC which uses a technique called Routing, see:
What Was Stack Overflow Built With?
and Routing
Stack Overflow uses ASP.net MVC
MVC uses the URL + Query String to determine the content, so its not like a URL which points to a specific page, but more like a hierarchical path to the properties of some data to be displayed
E.G. https://stackoverflow.com/users/[Put User ID Here]/[Put User Name Here]
prompts the website to display a USER with an ID specified in the path ( in this case the user name is probably just for kicks ) as opposed to a specific page created just for that user.
I have seen this accomplished by simply creating a folder for every web page and then having each folder contain a Default.aspx document (Assuming Default.aspx is setup as a default document in IIS, which it is by default). Then you can navigate to any folder on the site without specifying the page (Default.aspx).
For the dynamic part, I have worked with CMS systems that do it this way and the Default.aspx page simply inherits from some master template and the CMS system utilizes the ASP.NET rendering enginge to dynamically complete the web page.
Using folders may be a little heavy with the site structure, but it is an easy way to eliminate the page names from the browser.
This is how I structure my website and avoid having to use page names... for example http://www.innovaapps.net/Blog simply brings up the default.aspx page without having to specify the page name.
