Hello everybody!

How to implement URL redirection in ASP.NET MVC 2 from all pages which start from 'http://www.website.com/products/brand1' to 'http://www.website.com/products/brand2'? Here 'brand1' and 'brand2' are parameters. I know how to do it writing code in controllers but I have a lot of them in 'Products' area therefore I need more efficient way.

This is an existing site.
Really I have one area 'Products' where I have several brands with the same functionality. So I have the following links:
http://www.website.com/products/adidas/addnewproduct
http://www.website.com/products/adidas/editproduct?id=345
http://www.website.com/products/adidas/admin/index
...
http://www.website.com/products/nike/addnewproduct
http://www.website.com/products/nike/editproduct?id=345
http://www.website.com/products/nike/admin/index

And now I want to redirect from 'adidas' to 'adidas_new'. It means when the user types 'http://www.website.com/products/adidas/addnewproduct' in browser it redirects to 'http://www.website.com/products/adidas_new/addnewproduct'

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Instead of creating a different view like 'http://www.website.com/products/brand1' or 'http://www.website.com/products/brand2' you can create a single view something like http://www.website.com/products/brand?id=1 and pass the 'brandid' as paramater in query strinf, you can handle the query string parameters in your controller.

I hope i answered you question here.

This is an existing site and I cannot change url schema as you offer.
Really I have one area 'Products' where I have several brands with the same functionality. So I have the following links:
http://www.website.com/products/adidas/addnewproduct
http://www.website.com/products/adidas/editproduct?id=345
http://www.website.com/products/adidas/admin/index
...
http://www.website.com/products/nike/addnewproduct
http://www.website.com/products/nike/editproduct?id=345
http://www.website.com/products/nike/admin/index

And now I want to redirect from 'adidas' to 'adidas_new'. It means when the user types 'http://www.website.com/products/adidas/addnewproduct' in browser it redirects to 'http://www.website.com/products/adidas_new/addnewproduct'

In you global.asax file in the application_start function you can use

Response.RedirectPermanent(). You can check the url if its 'http://www.website.com/products/adidas/addnewproduct' you can redirect it to 'http://www.website.com/products/adidas_new/addnewproduct' using Response.RedirectPermanent(). This would create a 302 response status which would help the search engines to update their tabls also.
