I’m just wondering, if you are creating a new ASP.NET web forms app in ASP.NET 3.5, which would you recommend for URL rewriting? UrlRewriter.NET or ASP.NET MVC Routing. I’ve used UrlRewriter.NET before and was pretty happy with it.
Opinions anyone?
Routing is vastly superior IMHO. Rather than faking it (rewriting urls to keep the SEO types happy) you are making it (making real urls to keep the SEO types happy). The other huge advantage is that routing is reversable–you can easily get the URL from the parameters, which comes in very handy.
No, they do vastly different things. The url rewriting takes an incoming url and rewrites it before passing the request off to ASP.NET (or IIS) to handle. Url routing takes a url in ASP.NET and maps a handler using parameters found within the Url. The Url itself is never changed.
