Following to my earlier post – on URL Manipulation
For IIS 7 – Can use URL Rewrite Rule -
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="HtmlRewrite">
<match url="(.*)(\.\w+)$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>Refer IIS URL rewriting
2] For URL manipulation that should ignore the very end extension in url. the extension can be: .html, .aspx, .php
/Home.html should go to Home Controller and /Home/index.aspx should go to Home Controller Index Action.Implement Custom Base entry RouteBase
public class MyUrlRoute : RouteBase
{
public override RouteData GetRouteData(HttpContextBase httpContext)
{
//~/Account/LogOn
//~/Home.aspx - Works fine
//~/home/index.aspx -Works Fine
//http://localhost:57282/home/index/1/2/3 - Works fine
//http://localhost:57282/Account/Register http://localhost:57282/Account/LogOn - Works Fine
string url = httpContext.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath;
//check null for URL
const string defaultcontrollername = "Home";
string[] spliturl = url.Split("//".ToCharArray());
string controllername = String.Empty;
string actionname = "Index";
if (spliturl.Length == 2) //for ~/home.aspx and ~/
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(spliturl[1])) //TODO: http://localhost:57282/ not working - to make it working
{
controllername = defaultcontrollername;
}
else
{
controllername = spliturl[1];
if (controllername.Contains("."))
{
controllername = controllername.Substring(0, controllername.LastIndexOf("."));
}
}
}
else if (spliturl.Length == 3) // For #/home/index.aspx and /home/about
{
controllername = spliturl[1];
actionname = spliturl[2];
if (actionname.Contains("."))
{
actionname = actionname.Substring(0, actionname.LastIndexOf("."));
}
}
else //final block in final case sned it to Home Controller
{
controllername = defaultcontrollername;
}
RouteData rd = new RouteData(this, new MvcRouteHandler());
rd.Values.Add("controller", controllername);
rd.Values.Add("action", actionname);
rd.Values.Add("url", url);
return rd;
}
public override VirtualPathData GetVirtualPath(RequestContext requestContext, RouteValueDictionary values)
{
return null;
}
and in global.aspx add below code.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.Add(new MyUrlRoute()); // Add before your default Routes
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}

// phil haack's Route Debugger http://haacked.com/archive/2008/03/13/url-routing-debugger.aspx1] In case if Default.aspx need to be a start up page for MVC project then
Add a new WebForm as a Default.aspx in Root directory ,
set it as Start up page
and on Page Load redirect it to your default URL. -
public partial class _default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("~/Home");
}
}
