I'm using .net framework 4.0. I have an asp.net site that uses a menu to call a JS function which fires an update panel to load the content area with text -- it works fine. But now the Context.RewritePath method doesn't fire in the Global.asax file.

If I put the page name after the domain name the page_load even doesn't fire and it goes to "The resource cannot be found." error page.

1) Is there any way that I can get the Rewrite method to run when I click on a menu item?

2) Also is there a way to load the default.aspx page and run the ajax method when I enter the URL and press enter? Example:

http://mywebsite.com/my-post-page

It worked fine before I implemented the AJAX functionality, but after that it won't post back. I'd like it load the Default.aspx page the first time but after that I would just run the ajax functionality and change the url in the address bar.

I guess I'm wanting my cake and eat it too.

I was really getting tired of my WP blog (written in PHP) taking 15 to 25 seconds to load a page and doing everything I could to get it to run faster. So I decided to write my own blog using AJAX and asp.net.

The post loads instantly with AJAX but I have a lot of bookmarks out there (2 years worth) saved to people's bookmarks bar and if they run click it to go back to my site they'll get a "The resource cannot be found" error.

Is there anyway to get my asp.net site to run the way I want it to?

Here's the code on my default.aspx page:

And here's the javascript function the fires it:


Thanks!

Doug,
You could come at this another way.
Look at trapping a 404 in your global.asax (Application_Error). Then just redirect them to the default page.
