Version 9.3 URL Rewrite

[mohanrh]

Hi, We are currently in the process of upgrading our site from version ML/64 8.0.2 to 9.3. In 8.0 version, the url rewrite was specified as
<rule url="/c-([0-9]*)-([\w-]*)\.aspx(?:\?(.*))?" rewrite="/showcategory.aspx?CategoryID=$1&amp;SEName=$2&amp; $3"/> where on category page the page name is showcategory.aspx and categoryId is transferred as a querystring CategoryId.

However in the latest version, page name is c-xxx-sename.aspx and there is no CategoryID querry String. We have lot of customization and xmlpackages depend on these two values. Is there a way to pass these two query string values in the new version? Any help in this regard is very appreciated.

I had exactly the same problem- its to because they changed the urlrewriting to a built in asp.net routing mechanism.

Off the top of my head I fixed the query string issue by making the routedquerystring method in Requestdata.cs ( ASPDNSF core project) public as opposed to private.

The page name issue was a right PITA. I think that I ended up bodging it by testing if the page name started with a 'c-'. Sorry to be so vague but I don't have the code to hand.

Thanks for the Info. Even I had noticed that the values like CategoryID was present in the route data. Since I need them in the xmlpackages as QueryString, I modified xmlpackage2 file to enter the value while populating /root/QueryString node. I took the same route as you did with regard to the page name i.e checking for "c-".

I will consider your method of making routedQueryString public if there is further need. However, where are you using this method to access the queryString?
