I have been using Helicon to rewrite my URLs and they are in a file htaccess (no dot). The rewrite goes something like:

RewriteRule /e-commerce /e-commerce.asp [I,U]

I have read a few answers, starting with How to Determine the Installed ASP.NET Version of Host from a Web Page. I ran the page, and it displayed 2.0.50727.3643

A little history so maybe one can be gentle. I was a Microsoft Frontpage MVP, but disliked their Frontpage Server Extensions (FPSE). Some hosting companies are still using them, but the last ones were back in 2002.

I was a Microsoft guy. So I went with Microsoft servers and started using ASP includes. Then I came across Helicon - and used it for 4-5 yrs. Some of my sites are having no issues, but some of them are. And my new prices along with new hardware for credit card processing is out and I really need help (BTW, I looked for an e-commerce section but found nothing if y'all have one, I'll be more than happy to help).

I do not even know what is the file name I should be using and the information that goes in there.

Rename a file in C#

How to rename a file in .NET?

Rewriting URLs in ASP.NET/C#

Custom Url Rewriting in asp.net

I have seen several file names but I do not know which one to use. I am sure there is a question out there that matches mine, but after looking for several hours, I am hoping some of the experts will be able to help me out.

Thank you!

You should give a try to URLRewriter.Net. It's very easy to integrate into asp.net project. Instead of IIS level it implements url rewriting at asp.net level.

  • Thanks, that looks like what I need. Of course, it is speaking about files that I have heard of (web.config) – Corey Bryant Oct 13 '14 at 23:15
  • Sorry, I guess I ran out of time & space. (Start at web.config) This though talks about Add rewriter HttpModule: - which I have not heard of. And then I go back to the web.config: I am not sure if tags folder is being rewritten to /tagcloud.aspx?tag=$1 I just need a lot of URLs rewritten from: www.example.com/internet/rates.aspx www.example.com/rates.aspx to www.example.com/internet/rates www.example.com/rates – Corey Bryant Oct 13 '14 at 23:28
  • It's tricky getting the two things to play nice together since ASP.Net is completely different than classic ASP. I did run across this article that may help: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robert_mcmurray/archive/2012/12/31/using-classic-asp-and-url-rewrite-for-dynamic-seo-functionality.aspx There is also a URL Rewriting module for IIS at: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite Oh, and don't know if you remember me, but I was an FP MVP from '97 till the end. – Mark Fitzpatrick Oct 14 '14 at 03:47
  • That might be why I remember your name. The http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite is that that program that you sign into the website to re-write the URLs? – Corey Bryant Oct 18 '14 at 01:56
  • I already worked it out with the ISO to pay residuals to my family when I pass away. Have had a few health issues and not possibly prostate cancer. So that is why I want to start with Interns and hopefully we will be able to build a good business. – Corey Bryant Oct 18 '14 at 02:08
