Changing the URL Extension

I had developed a Web application in Asp.net. When am using the Application over IIS, the file extension as.aspx is visible. Is it possible to hide it (or) rename it....Thankx in advance.

For .NET Framework 3.5 or earlier, you can accomplish this using routing. Try the following solution:

For .NET framework 4.0+, try the following rule in web.config (inside <system.webServer>):

The first will redirect URLs using the old format, to remove the .aspx extensions. You should of course update your links as well - eventually you won't need this.

The second rule rewrites URLs internally to add .aspx behind the scenes.

<rewrite>
   <rules>
        <rule name="RedirectOldFormat" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="(.*)\.aspx" />
            <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}" />
        </rule>
        <rule name="InternallyAddAspx" enabled="true">
            <match url=".*" negate="false" />
            <conditions>
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                <add input="{URL}" pattern="(.*)\.(.*)" negate="true" />
            </conditions>
            <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:0}.aspx" />
        </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>
