Rewrite URL in ASP .NET Web Forms

Question

I have just made a step back from ASP .NET MVC application and moved to ASP .NET Web Forms and I'm wondering is it possible to rewrite url in Web Forms as well. I have a following set of URLs to reqrite:

Edit.aspx?type=grbat
Edit.aspx?type=lrbat
Edit.aspx?type=glsi
Edit.aspx?type=llsi

As you can see, everything works on one page.

However, I would like to make URLs more user friendly and replace it with:

EditGlobalTopic.aspx
EditLocalTopic.aspx
EditGlobalInitiative.aspx
EditLocalInitiative.aspx

is it possible in ASP .NET Web Forms?

Thanks

You could use an open source component: URL Rewriter.

I've used this is in the past and was able to create friendly URL's quickly.

I think you'll need url rewriting here (isapi or another similar tool) to achieve what you want.

Here you're accessing to 4 different pages, and they need to be created, or the server will respond with a 404

You could create these 4 pages and then redirect to edit.aspx with proper parameters, but still I think it's a better aproach to use url rewriting (as that's its purpose)

Hello You Can easily rewrite URL from Web.config using Bellow Method ,

    <system.webServer> 
     <rewrite> 
       <rules> 
         <rule name="default">
           <match url="^EditGlobalTopic.aspx" />
             <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="\.axd" negate="true" />
               </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" url="Edit.aspx?type=grbat" />
            </rule>
       </rules>
   </rewrite>
 </system.webServer>

use

     <a href="EditGlobalTopic.aspx">Go</a>

It will redirect you on that page.
