Redirect route at global.asax.cs

Is there a way for me to make everyone that access localhost/subscribe to be redirected to localhost/subscribe.aspx by using a rule inside global.asax.cs or should I redirect from action?

If you are redirecting a virtual url to a physical file, it's pretty easy to do this in the Global.asax:

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
     RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("Key", "Home", "~/Public/Pages/Default.aspx");
}

In this case,

http://www.example.com/Home

redirects to

http://www.example.com/Public/Pages/Default.aspx

Just an FYI, doing this doesn't redirect on the client, it redirects on the server, meaning that the server doesn't return a 302 with the new address, it simply sends back the content you're directing it to.

This is also nifty for adding variables, like this:

routes.MapPageRoute("MainPublic3", "Public/Pages/{PAGE}/{CHILD}", "~/Public/Pages/Pages.aspx");

These can then be accessed in the code behind like this:

string page = Page.RouteData.Values["PAGE"];
string child = Page.RouteData.Values["CHILD"];

We use this for everything where I work, of course we are switching to MVC :)

Following code should work for you:

protected void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Request.RawUrl.ToLower().EndsWith("subscribe")) 
    {
        Response.Redirect("subscribe.aspx");
    }
}

Or inside Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute method if you going to use also Session for verifications

Phil Haack has an example of redirecting using routes

However for one url the easiest solution is probably to redirect from the action.
