I am newbie to asp.net 4. Pardon me if this question is dumb.
I have a web application tat was running in server with asp.net 3.5 and we migrated the server that to asp.net 4.
Now I need to use the query string in url without question mark.
What I need is to transform the url from "www.website.com?user_name=test_usr" to "www.website.com/test_usr" and read the test_usr into a variable(querystring or routing data)
I do not want to change the architecture of my application to MVC pattern.
Could someone please guide me on, if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.
It is possible to use routing with webforms in .NET 4.
Scott Guthrie has a good overview on the subject located here: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/10/13/url-routing-with-asp-net-4-web-forms-vs-2010-and-net-4-0-series.aspx
There is a walkthrough on the MSDN site as well: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd329551(v=vs.100).aspx
Here are the steps as I understand them:
Create a RegisterRoutes() method in your global.asax. This should include calls to routes.MapPageRoute()
Call RegisterRoutes() from Application_Start()
Use Page.GetRouteUrl() from pages to form links from within ASP.NET page logic

Thomas, check out ASP.NET Routing.
In a nutshell, ASP.NET Routing is a library that was introduced in the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 that decouples the URL from a physical file. It is used heavily in ASP.NET MVC, but can also be used in WebForms applications. I have authored an article that discusses how to use ASP.NET Routing in an ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 WebForms application: Using ASP.NET Routing Without ASP.NET MVC. It includes a complete working demo you can download and try out on your computer.
From the article:
ASP.NET Routing is a library that was introduced in the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 that decouples the URL from a physical file; it is used extensively in ASP.NET MVC web applications. With ASP.NET Routing you, the developer, define routing rules that indicate what route patterns map to what physical files. For example, you might indicate that the URL Categories/CategoryName maps to the ShowProductsByCategory.aspx ASP.NET page, passing along the CategoryName portion of the URL. The ASP.NET page could then display the products for that category. With such a mapping, users could view products for the Beverages category by visiting www.yoursite.com/Categories/Beverages rather than visiting the more verbose and less readable www.yoursite.com/ShowProductsByCategory.aspx?CategoryID=1.
While ASP.NET MVC is a great way to get started with ASP.NET Routing, the good news is that these two systems are independent of one another. It's quite possible to use ASP.NET Routing in a traditional ASP.NET Web Forms application. This article shows how to get ASP.NET Routing up and running in a Web Forms application. Read on to learn more!
To use ASP.NET Routing you'll need to be using ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 or ASP.NET 4. In fact, there were a number of enhancements to ASP.NET Routing in ASP.NET 4 to make it easier to use in a WebForms application, so if you can upgrade to ASP.NET 4 that might be helpful.
Happy Programming!
this is my first question Here ,
I am a beginner in asp.net , and i want to make a CMS project using it
After Some readings I found that the MVC structure is very suitable for Me
Just want to know :
how much the asp.net MVC depend on the normal asp.net??
as a beginner i don't know the level of knowledge for Normal asp.net to start working using asp.net MVC
Please tell me where to start in the normal asp.net(3.5) and when to switch to learn the asp.net MVC ??
Detailed information is very welcome
Thanks For your Time
It is built on normal ASP.NET minus postbacks, viewstate, and event wiring. The underlying System.Web stuff is the same, but with some new wrappers to access it, and of course a bunch of new featuers that make up the MVC portion. Just get a book on ASP.NET MVC, and don't worry about classic ASP.NET.
'normal' (also known as WebForms) asp.net and 'mvc' asp.net are somewhat different from each other in how things are put together and how things work with each other. There is no need to learn one before learning the other.
If you read through this article you can see at a glance what the differences are between 'normal' or WebForms and 'mvc'.
Here is a pretty good tutorial for learning about MVC from Scott Guthrie if this is the way that you're leaning.
Good luck and have fun!
It depends on what you mean by "ASP.NET". ASP.NET MVC does depend on standard ASP.NET request processing pipeline (IHttpModules, IHttpHandlers and all other internal workings), but it does not depend on WebForms infrastructure.
I've recently jumped on the ASP.NET MVC bandwagon and I found the introduction tutorials on the official http://asp.net/mvc site very useful.
ASP.NET WebForms tried to mimic WinForms desktop apps in that you have controls and event-driven interaction, which is not particularly well suited to the stateless HTTP
ASP.NET MVC gives you full control over the HTML that is generated and sent back to the browser, but more importantly, it makes it easier to write testable code.
Also, ASP.NET MVC does not depend on ASP.NET WebForms, they are built on the same foundation. In fact, in principle, you can mix and use both in the same app if you really wanted to :)
When MVC was released, what used to be simply ASP.NET was renamed ASP.NET Webforms and MVC because ASP.NET MVC. Not sure if that answers your question but it does clear up some terminology.
Why not start with Asp.Net MVC ?
Asp.Net is split now into 2 parts. Webforms and MVC.
I'd advise looking at the following -

I'm developing a web application for a company which I work for. My team started working on the app few months ago and the decision was to build it with ASP.NET WebForms. Now we've quite a lot of the code developed and we're wondering if ASP.NET WebForms was a good choice. Maybe we should migrate. Ok, but what's the first step? We don't want to rewrite everything from scratch. We'd like to add a new stuff in MVC and rewrite the old part in the future (gradually). Is it possible to add somehow ASP.NET MVC application to current WebForms one? Can they live together?
Asp.net webforms and MVC can live happily together. You will add some includes and directores and add a route which will cause your webforms pages to be ignored. All explained here:
http://www.packtpub.com/article/mixing-asp.net-webforms-and-asp.net-mvc
Mixing MVC with webforms is not that all hard. Basically, you want to ignore any exisiting .aspx routes in your global.asax, and then add routes for new pages that you want to build using MVC.
See this article for more details.
We currently have a classic ASP.NET web application which serves as our API. It basically has a bunch of ASMX Web Services, but these are really cumbersome to work with from JavaScript. What I want is to expose a set of RESTful endpoints, but doing this in classis ASP.NET is not what I really want to do.
I'm considering to combine both classic ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC in one web app. Is this possible at all? If yes, what are the issues/problems I may encounter?
Aha! It seems that this is very much possible. Here's a comprehensive article which describes what should be done.
An ASP.NET Webforms application can become ASP.NET MVC enabled by following some simple steps,its quite easy infact see this link
if you want to go rest for mvc heres a article Rest for mvc by Phil Haack and Rest like nature of MVC heres a comparison Rest in asp net vs wcf
The whole goal of routing is to break
the one-to-one association between
URLs and files in the server’s file
system. However, the routing system
still does check the file system to
see if an incoming URL happens to
match a file or disk, and if so,
routing ignores the request (bypassing
any route entries that the URL might
also match) so that the file will be
served directly.
So, to answer on a part of your question "is this possible at all": Yes, because routing system will recognize the .asmx file on the file system and it will process it in classic asp.net web services manner.
For the second question I'm not sure because I haven't been doing anything complex with web service inside of the asp.net mvc application.
This question already has answers here:

ASP.NET MVC alongside Web Forms in the same web app?
I am kinda new to .NET applications, I have a web forms application that I am working on and I am about to start the development of new pages, I am trying to make the new pages with the ASP.NET MVC, but I am not beeing able to make the pages hit the controllers. First i added the library references added the routes on the global.asax but not sure what else is missing, can someone help me out?
thx.
Reading between the lines I gather you are trying to add MVC pages to your existing ASP.NET Webforms Webapplication?
If that is the case then you probably need some MVC specific config. settings. Easiest way is to create a new MVC web app and then merge the config settings.
Furthermore if you are doing a hybrid project I'd recommend giving Scott Hanselmann's post on the topic a read.
There's a more step-by-step description of adding MVC to a WebForms Application at these links:
Integrating ASP.Net MVC Into An Existing ASP.Net Web Application

You might also want to add the ProjectTypeGuid to the project file with a text editor ({603c0e0b-db56-11dc-be95-000d561079b0} is used to designate to Visual Studio to use the MVC extensions.)
<ProjectTypeGuids>{603c0e0b-db56-11dc-be95-000d561079b0};{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}</ProjectTypeGuids>
The links above also don't fully cover the system.webserver area of web.config that needs to be configured.
Scott Hanselman released a "totally unsupported" Nuget package that adds MVC 3 features to an existing Web Forms project. It also works on my PC (ha ha) and I've used it on several projects.
http://nuget.org/List/Packages/AddMvc3ToWebForms
He blogged about it here:
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/CreatingANuGetPackageIn7EasyStepsPlusUsingNuGetToIntegrateASPNETMVC3IntoExistingWebFormsApplications.aspx
One newb tip: this package will configure your MVC routes in /App_Start/RegisterMvc3Routes.cs
I've spent a lot of time over the past few months on this. Here are my observations.
The good/easy
- Getting Webforms to call into MVC controllers
- It was remarkably easy to stand up a new MVC3 project and drop Webforms pages into it.
- I was able to move my <pages><controls></controls></pages> section into the /pages directory in a new web.config there
The dirty/difficult
Regarding the GUID
Please note that the GUID has to be added at the front of the line for some reason... everytime I tried it failed. Until I stumbled on a post that insisted it be the before the others.
also I don't know what the difference is but I have a different GUID working... {E53F8FEA-EAE0-44A6-8774-FFD645390401}
getting the landing page to be Webforms caused ALL kinds of snags.
getting jQuery intellisense to play nicely with T4MVC
this is what I did to address that
#if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
{
<script src="../../Scripts/Mvc3/jquery-1.7-vsdoc.js" type="text/javascript"></script> #* intellisense! *#
#Html.RelativeJavascript(Links.Scripts.Mvc3.jquery_1_7_js)
#Html.RelativeJavascript(Links.Scripts.Mvc3.jquery_unobtrusive_ajax_js)
}
else
{
#Html.RelativeJavascript(Links.Scripts.Mvc3.jquery_1_7_min_js)
#Html.RelativeJavascript(Links.Scripts.Mvc3.jquery_unobtrusive_ajax_min_js)
}
Recommendations:
Use T4MVC in ALL cases even if you are pure webforms. The elimination of magic strings for static content (.js,.css, images, specifying templates) is outstanding.
and if you have any part of your build process compiling views then you get compile-time safety on any of those links.
