Url Routing for asp.net 4.0 Web Application on Windows Azure Website

Question

I've been trying to use url routing in asp.net 4.0 to make a clean url for my website. when I try it in localhost, it works perfectly just like what I want, but after I upload it to Windows Azure Website, I keep getting error The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I've been trying to add code like in this URL :

• How to implement URL rewriting with Windows Azure?
• Using Windows Azure Websites with ExtensionlessUrlHandler

and some other link with almost the same solution like the above but with no result, are there any way to implement URL Routing or any other way to make a clean url with asp.net 4.0 on Windows Azure

(I don't use MVC and I deploy it on Windows Azure Website, not Cloud Service or VM)

Edit: The code that I add in Global.asax :

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

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
        var routeHandlerBrands = new WebFormRouteHandler<Page>("~/brands_book.aspx");
        var routeHandlerCategories = new WebFormRouteHandler<Page>("~/categories_fs.aspx");

        RouteTable.Routes.Add(new Route("Catalog/Categories", routeHandlerCategories));
        RouteTable.Routes.Add(new Route("Catalog/Brands", routeHandlerBrands));
}

In WebFormRouteHandler :

public interface IRoutablePage
{
    RequestContext RequestContext { set; }
}
public class WebFormRouteHandler<T> : IRouteHandler where T : IHttpHandler, new()
{
    public WebFormRouteHandler(string virtualPath)
        : this(virtualPath, true)
    {
    }

    public WebFormRouteHandler(string virtualPath, bool checkPhysicalUrlAccess)
    {
        this.VirtualPath = virtualPath;
        this.CheckPhysicalUrlAccess = checkPhysicalUrlAccess;
    }

    public string VirtualPath { get; private set; }

    public bool CheckPhysicalUrlAccess { get; set; }

    public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)
    {
        if (this.CheckPhysicalUrlAccess
          && !UrlAuthorizationModule.CheckUrlAccessForPrincipal(this.VirtualPath
                  , requestContext.HttpContext.User
                  , requestContext.HttpContext.Request.HttpMethod))
            throw new SecurityException();

        var page = BuildManager
          .CreateInstanceFromVirtualPath(this.VirtualPath
            , typeof(Page)) as IHttpHandler;

        if (page != null)
        {
            var routablePage = page as IRoutablePage;
            if (routablePage != null)
                routablePage.RequestContext = requestContext;
        }
        return page;
    }
}

And add handler & modules in Web.config :

<system.webServer>
<modules>
  <remove name="UrlRoutingModule-4.0" />
  <add name="UrlRoutingModule-4.0" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule" preCondition="" />
</modules>
<handlers>
  <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
  <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
  <add name="UrlRoutingHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="UrlRouting.axd" type="Route.RoutingHandler, Route"/>
</handlers>    

it work's perfectly when I debug it in localhost or publish it in my local IIS, but when I publish it to Windows Azure, it doesn't work

Edit 2: I've tried to publish it to Windows Azure Virtual Machine and it's working ( no error occured for now ), did anyone know any other way to make a clean url for windows azure website ( not virtual machine or cloud ), or I should move my current Website to the Virtual Machine?

Answer 1

After rechecking the file that I've uploaded to Windows Azure, it seems that I forgot to upload the Global.asax file, so it doesn't work. And after I uploaded the Global.asax file, now it works perfectly, no wonder that the routing doesn't work before.
