Controlling the url and what to display on the web page

[M8KWR1]

Sorry, really unsure how to word what I am trying to achieve

I would like to be able to get rid of the .aspx but in the url, but the website still be able to know what content to display.

Would this be a matter of controlling the error404 page - or is there another solution that fits what I am trying to do.

For example i would like links in the website itself to be

http://www.website.com\area1\

http://www.website.com\contact\

instead of

http://www.website.com\area1.aspx

http://www.website.com\contact.aspx

If the best solution is to link this into a database, then great.

Many thanks for you time.

IIS 7 and any of the MVC framworks can handle this. Webforms might be able to do this as well. It's not easily accomplished with previous versions of IIS.

with IIS 7 the asp.net framework is intergrated directly into IIS.
prior to this asp.net was an add-on like php or cgi. in the previous version the extension is what triggers IIS to pass of process to the asp.net pipeline.
