What is wrong with my .net routes?

Question

I have followed a few tutorials online and they all seem to show the same logic for .net routing using ASP.net web forms. When I execute the URL below I get a 404 error. Test.aspx is in the root folder of this application.

http://www.mydomain.com/member/abc

Here is my global.asax contents:

<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Routing" %>

<script runat="server">

    void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.MapPageRoute(
            "TestABC",
            "member/{name}",
            "~/Test.aspx");
    }               

    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    }

    void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        //  Code that runs on application shutdown

    }

    void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {

    }

    void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        // Code that runs when a new session is started

    }

    void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        // Code that runs when a session ends. 
        // Note: The Session_End event is raised only when the sessionstate mode
        // is set to InProc in the Web.config file. If session mode is set to StateServer 
        // or SQLServer, the event is not raised.

    }

</script>

Is there something I need to do with my web.config file?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing that your routing module is not triggered when you hit the iis server. As a test to verify that this is the cause : change your webconfig to run all managed modules upon a request. You need to set this :

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

If that solved it you can go read this resource on why to not do that :)
