If you are using ASP.NET 3.5 ASP.NET Routing could be a good choice for you.

MSDN page: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668201.aspx

Using it with ASP.NET MVC at ScottGu blog: weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/12/03/asp-net-mvc-framework-part-2-url-routing.aspx

Using it with ASP.NET 3.5: www.techbubbles.com/aspnet/aspnet-35-url-routing/

If your website runs under ASP.NET 2.0 Helicon ISAPI Rewrite could be a good choise for you. This is an IIS filter that redirects requests to your pages according to regex-based configuration file. They have a free version for one website.

Have a look at Helicon: www.isapirewrite.com

The simplest way would just be having a folder named "signup" with a default page that redirects to signup.aspx

Hew ... can you imagine how would this look like for a web site with hundreds of pages!?

He didn't say he had hundreds of pages, it was an answer to his very specific question. (Keep it simple stupid:)

Another option which does not involve rewriting the URL yourself is using the ASP.NET MVC Framework which will handle that kind of stuff pretty easily.

simply linking to the main page of a framework is not helpful. No specific answer is given here.
