Programmatically Producing rewritten URLs?

Question

Using IIS Rewrite over a ASP.NET 4.0 application. Is there some function I could call from within ASP.NET that would transform a string URL to the rewritten URL? I would like to be able to do this in code-behind.

Something like this: string ProduceRewrittenUrl(string publicUrl)

Answer 1

If you want to do it in code, take a look at using the Application_BeginRequest() event of Global.asax.

Answer 2

Yes this the HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(string)

a global place to call it is the protected void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) on global.asax.
