Question

I need my .net application to use the .html extension instead of .aspx

I’m converting a php app and there are external applications which depend on that extension to function.

What is the best way to do this?

Thanks

In IIS, when you create the application for the virtual directory, click on ‘Configuration’ for the application, and edit ‘App mappings’, i.e. add a new mapping for html.

Or, in your web.config, in add this sections:

<httpHandlers>    <remove verb='*' path='*.html' />    <add verb='*' path='*.html' type='System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory' /> </httpHandlers> <compilation>    <buildProviders>        <buildProvider             extension='.html'             type='System.Web.Compilation.PageBuildProvider' />    </buildProviders> </compilation> 

EDIT: Added the section, according to the comment. Thanks Chris.
