Issues using HyperLink control with an image in a URL Rewriting scenario

I guess that when you postback, its to: /site/test.aspx?param1=x&param2=x

If you need compatibility with your current one, you can manage/juggle the not-adding-duplicate qs parameters directly in the handler.

Thanks,

Yeah that is my case site/.../param2.aspx gets rewritten to site/test.aspx I know this could always be stored in a dictionary but I like the idea that if I swap out the url rewriting with my current solution it will still work.

Thanks

Ya, rather than masking, it serves the page at the requested url by loading the right handler :)

In regards to query strings

You can have query string variables and they work as normal.

The example just looks for the language part and removes it to determinethe real page, it passes the query string along as-is

The only time you should have any issue with the qs is if you want to use it to convert parts of the path into a query string.

Its better to keep a custom dictionary (eg "PathParamers") in the httpcontext.current items to hold them.

(If you convert the path directly to qs arguments, so that site/color/red/All.aspx executes the pages site/All.aspx?color=red, then when you have postback, you postback to site/color/red/All.aspx?color=red)

Looks interesting. With this solution is it possible to still have your query string variables? What I like about the way I am doing it is that you could effectively turn off URL masking and it would still work fine.

Thanks

I had fewer problems when I used an HandlerFactory instead of a url rewriter.
