I have a client who has one webpage with customized routes added in global.asax (they are extension-less):

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Routing.RouteTable.Routes.Clear()
Routing.RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("Key1", "String", "~/Route")

Unfortunately this redirections are not working on IIS 7.5. I’ve tested that:

The pool in in integrated mode, 4.0. This server is running a lot of MVC3 pages, and they are using routing by default.

Any light will be very apreciated! Thanks

======================================================================

EDIT: Ok, I’m not able to find any solution.

At the webconfig, inside assemblies:

<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

At system.webServer:

<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<defaultDocument>
<files><add value="Page.aspx" /></files>
</defaultDocument>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<remove name="UrlRoutingModule"/>
<add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule,System.Web.Routing,Version=4.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
   </modules>



</system.webServer>

    My solution, after trying EVERYTHING:

    Bad deployment, an old PrecompiledApp.config was hanging around my deploy location, and making everything not work.

    My final settings that worked:

    • IIS 7.5, Win2k8r2 x64,
    • Integrated mode application pool

    • Nothing changes in the web.config – this means no special handlers for routing. Here’s my snapshot of the sections a lot of other posts reference. I’m using FluorineFX, so I do have that handler added, but I did not need any others:

      <system.web>
  <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
  <authentication mode="None"/>

  <pages validateRequest="false" controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID"/>
  <httpRuntime requestPathInvalidCharacters=""/>

  <httpModules>
    <add name="FluorineGateway" type="FluorineFx.FluorineGateway, FluorineFx"/>
  </httpModules>
</system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <!-- Modules for IIS 7.0 Integrated mode -->
    <modules>
      <add name="FluorineGateway" type="FluorineFx.FluorineGateway, FluorineFx" />
    </modules>

    <!-- Disable detection of IIS 6.0 / Classic mode ASP.NET configuration -->
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
  </system.webServer>

    • Global.ashx: (only method of any note)

      void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    // Register routes...
    System.Web.Routing.Route echoRoute = new System.Web.Routing.Route(
          "{*message}",
        //the default value for the message
          new System.Web.Routing.RouteValueDictionary() { { "message", "" } },
        //any regular expression restrictions (i.e. @"[^\d].{4,}" means "does not start with number, at least 4 chars
          new System.Web.Routing.RouteValueDictionary() { { "message", @"[^\d].{4,}" } },
          new TestRoute.Handlers.PassthroughRouteHandler()
       );

    System.Web.Routing.RouteTable.Routes.Add(echoRoute);
}

    • PassthroughRouteHandler.cs – this achieved an automatic conversion from http://andrew.arace.info/stackoverflow to http://andrew.arace.info/#stackoverflow which would then be handled by the default.aspx:

      public class PassthroughRouteHandler : IRouteHandler {

    public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext) {
        HttpContext.Current.Items["IncomingMessage"] = requestContext.RouteData.Values["message"];
        requestContext.HttpContext.Response.Redirect("#" + HttpContext.Current.Items["IncomingMessage"], true);
        return null;
    }
}
