I heard that in Visual Studio 2010 give built-in functionality for URL rewriting using its URL Routing engine.

I did URL rewriting in earlier version of visual studio by using plug in like intelligencia urlrewrite.

Can any one explain me or guide me to understand that?

Want to implement dynamic and custom url rewriting in my website.

Are you refering to .net 4.0 URL Routing ?

URL routing was a capability we first introduced with ASP.NET 3.5 SP1, and which is already used within ASP.NET MVC applications to expose clean, SEO-friendly “web 2.0” URLs. URL routing lets you configure an application to accept request URLs that do not map to physical files. Instead, you can use routing to define URLs that are semantically meaningful to users and that can help with search-engine optimization (SEO).

    As posted in comment of other answer I actually wrote up a long article on the difference a while back. http://coderjournal.com/2010/03/difference-between-routing-rewriting/ So you got my +1 for correcting this misnomer. – Nick Berardi Feb 03 '11 at 12:52
  • Thank you for clearing this up for me as well. I deleted my wrong answer, and thank you for teaching me something new. – David Feb 03 '11 at 13:58
  • @David .. yeah I know IIS can be used for this but he was asking for VS 2010 so I suspcted that he was talking about .net 4.0 (many get confused with this). :-) – Shoban Feb 03 '11 at 18:03
