URL rewriting in asp.net 3.5 withiout IIS

Question

I am working in as asp.net application which is in asp.net 3.5 version. I have a requirement to implement URL rewriting. I have defined 4 pages like

www.abc.com/page1.aspx
www.abc.com/page2.aspx
www.abc.com/page3.aspx
www.abc.com/page4.aspx

I want that when user types www.abc.com/language1 then www.abc.com/page1.aspx open. If user types www.abc.com/language2, then www.abc.com/page2.aspx should open.

Please suggest a solution to it.

Also, as this site is complete and have links sent through email to users ( and some of the links have querystrings) what is best way to redirect users to new urls without querystrings and generate new links using new pattern ?

I have gone through followig techniques:

http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite ( this is with IIS, can i use it with asp.net 3.5 and without IIS ? )

ASP.NET URL Rewriting in very easy way ( it is not tested for security issues)

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingASPNETFriendlyUrlsCleanerURLsEasierRoutingAndMobileViewsForASPNETWebForms.aspx ( This require existing links to change ? )

Please suggest

public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.Add(new Route("language2", new PageRouteHandler("~/page2.aspx")));
    }

    protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    }
}

Can I make language2 dynamic so that It can be picked from database and still uses page2.aspx ?

Yes, you can. You can use anything strings like that: RouteTable.Routes.Add(new Route(mymodel.customstring, new PageRouteHandler("~/myphysicalpath.aspx")));

I see it is working in web forms but my images are not shown. I tried to add routes.Ignore("img/{*pathInfo}"); and routes.Add(new Route("img/{*pathInfo}", new StopRoutingHandler())); but still images are not shown.

Did you include UrlRoutingModule module in your web.config file? You can read at MSDN that it's working in .net 3.5.

You can do this under Application_BeginRequest in Global.asax file, Check If Request comes from specified URL, then Redirect user to another Page, eg : if(Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("language1.aspx") , then Response.Redirect("Page1.aspx") .
