I want to hide page name in browser.
For example;
www.mysite.com/page1.aspx
www.mysite.com/page2.aspx
www.mysite.com/page3.aspx
I want to appear all sites like this: www.mysite.com
How can I do this in asp.net 3.5 with IIS 6.0.
Thanks

2What is the purpose of this? I would recommend against it as whatever result you are trying to achieve can probably be achieved in a better wayCurtis– Curtis2011-02-21 15:39:57 +00:00Commented Feb 21, 2011 at 15:39

See ScottGu's explanation about this issue here : Tip/Trick: Url Rewriting with ASP.NET
use ajax to load your content or use one big <frameset>.
But, don't do it. It will break the possibility for users to make bookmarks, make it harder / impossible for Google to crawl your website.

Agreed. Avoid the <frameset> at all costs. It also does not play nicely on mobile devices.
Obfuscating the actual URL is very bad practice both in usability and debugging.
If you really, really need to do it you can use HTML frames by having a parent frameset page at your desired url and your actual pages in a full-width full-height frame inside the frameset.

You can use Uri. Create a new Uri object and then use the Host method.

how do you identify what page you should use?
Your could use url rewriting module(iis) for friendly urls like these:
www.mysite.com/page/1
www.mysite.com/page/2
www.mysite.com/page/3

Thanks. But I m looking for a simple solution than this. I have just these 3 pages. I dont want to display page name in address bar.
If you are desperate and having trouble with other options you could do the follow. I definitely wouldn't recommend this approach because it's ugly but it would probably get the job done:
On www.mysite.com/page[1|2|3].aspx Page_Load method, issue a Response.Redirect("www.mysite.com/") if and only if Request.UrlReferrer is not www.mysite.com/page[1|2|3].aspx
On www.mysite.com/[default.aspx], issue a Server.Transfer("page[1|2|3].aspx") if the Request.UrlReferrer is www.mysite.com/page[1|2|3].aspx. Server.Transfer will pull the page on the server side and respond with the result, rather than issuing a 301 redirect so the user will still see www.mysite.com/ on their browser.
