Add this to global.asax

using System.Web.Routing; //top of the page

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}

void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.MapPageRoute("", "news/{news}", "~/news/default.aspx");
}

And then you can get the news title in default.aspx like below:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.RouteData.Values.Count > 0)
    {
        string newstitle = this.RouteData.Values[0].ToString();
    }
}

You can use URLRewriter.Net for this purpose. It's very easy to integrate into asp.net project and also it's open source . Add the dll file of urlRewriter.Net into your project and set the rewriting rule in your web.config file. Although be careful when using it with ajax postback pages. In Raw url if you get ajax postback problem .
