Redirect a user when he or she tries to navigate to a page in ASP.NET website

Is it possible to re-direct a request for a page 'XYZ.aspx' to 'ABC.aspx', without writing any code? We are using ASP.Net 4.0 with IIS 7.5.

The idea is that we want to remove XYZ.aspx page from our website, and if users still use old bookmarks that point to XYZ.aspx, then we want them to be taken to ABC.aspx in an automated manner.

I found the answer. One needs to use the following in web config, and that's it. 

<location path="XYZ.aspx">
<system.webServer>
  <httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="http://localhost/mysite/ABC.aspx" httpResponseStatus="Permanent" />
</system.webServer>

UPDATE : This will also work if any query string parameters are passed to the page XYZ.aspx.

you can forward the user through web.config file or you can do it through IIS too. but I I were you I would use web.config. in shared hosting u cannot touch IIS.
