copied!<p>The IIS Manager has a GUI / wizard interface for creating the rules which I usually find quicker and easier than entering the rule into the web.config file manually. Worth checking out: <code>IIS Manager -> select your site / application -> URL Rewrite -> Add Rule(s)</code>.</p> <p>I think the following rule will do the trick for you:</p> <pre><code><rule name="RewriteUserFriendlyURL1" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^([^/]+)/?$" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="default.aspx?folder={R:1}" /> </rule> </code></pre> <p>Basically, the "match url" is a <a href="http://www.regular-expressions.info/" rel="nofollow">regular expression</a> that is used to identify a part of the URL. In this case, it captures a group containing one or more characters (except for a /), with an optional / at the end of the URL. It will then rewrite the url to <code>default.aspx?folder=</code> followed by the value that was matched (<code>{R:1}</code> refers to the first captured group, which will contain the folder name).</p> <p>This will work provided you only have a single subfolder name (not nested folders).</p> <p>You could also add a second rule which works in the opposite direction, so browsing to <code>http://www.example.com/default.aspx?folder=myfolder</code> would result in the user seeing <code>http://www.example.com/myfolder</code>:</p> <pre><code><rule name="RedirectUserFriendlyURL1" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^default\.aspx$" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_METHOD}" pattern="^POST$" negate="true" /> <add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^folder=([^=&amp;]+)$" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}" appendQueryString="false" /> </rule> </code></pre>
