url rewrite for aspx page

Question

I have a page, called foo.aspx and i d like to rewrite the url as bar.something

How to do this? How does url rewrite happens in asp.net

Should i create a generic handler?

or should i get some url rewrite modules and add to app?

Wtheck? haha. Wrong usage of foo and bar imo? BTW Aspx is a type. — Younes, May 07 '10 at 14:34
Younes, it's a legit question, he's looking for info on URL Rewriting. ASPX isn't necessarily a 'type', it's a file extension and many people would agree that it has no business in the end of a URL, but, for example, using IIS7's rewrite rules I could make it so that a page with *.aspx at the end is served by a .svc or .asmx or .asp file (why I would want to do so is beyond me). — marr75, May 07 '10 at 14:39

This is done by configuring IIS, and will require IIS7, look here for configuration help: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/460/using-the-url-rewrite-module/

What @marr75 is (correctly) trying to say is that you need to configure this in IIS. It's got nothing (or maybe not much) to do with ASP.NET. – scherand May 07 '10 at 14:43

Remember, you also have the new Routing option with ASP.NET 4.0:
