Sounds strange. Did you try to trace what's happening. You should probably log the values of context.Request.Path and strNewPath to get an idea about what's wrong.

Sample code
==================
Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
' Fires at the beginning of each request
Dim context As HttpContext
context = HttpContext.Current()
Dim strOldPath As String
strOldPath = Trim(context.Request.Path.ToLower())
Dim strToken As String
strToken = "accomodationdetail"
Dim intI As Integer
intI = strOldPath.IndexOf(strToken)
Dim intLen As Integer
intLen = strToken.Length
Dim intJ As Integer
If intI <> -1 Then
intJ = strOldPath.IndexOf(".aspx")
If intJ <> -1 Then
Dim strDetail As String
strDetail = strOldPath.Substring(intI + intLen, intJ - (intI + intLen))
Dim strNewPath As String
strNewPath = strOldPath.Replace(strToken + strDetail + ".aspx",

"AccomodationDetail.aspx?intID=" & strDetail)
context.RewritePath(strNewPath)
End If
End If
end sub
============================

but when i called some page like this

original request=/accomodation/accomodationdetail22.aspx
after rewrite=/accomodation/accomodationdetail.aspx?id=22

Hello,

Thought I'd comment on this.

I blogged on how this is done at: http://weblogs.asp.net/jasonsalas/archive/2003/12/14/43404.aspx

Nice use of HTTP handlers!

Not really related to Google but I am using handlers for a file extension hack to produce excel files from aspx. I generate a data grid and render is alone to the client as an excel app type. Problem is the client gets the file as an aspx and this is trouble if they save to disk. Solution: create a handler for xls and treat is just the same as your call to aspx; I can have querystring params and all and when they save to disk it saves as an xls file.
