Remarks

This interface is implemented by the following classes:

• ViewUrlManager - provides routes for user-friendly URL functionality in ASP.NET applications. With this format, URLs include the View’s parameters as the path and query components, as shown below:

  .../Contact_ListView/
.../Contact_DetailView/ContactId/?mode=Edit

  You can use the RegisterXafRoutes(RouteCollection) method to register additional or replace the default routes with yours.

  If no route is registered, URLs include the View’s parameters as the query component.

  Also, note that the user-friendly URL mechanism does not support composite keys. Implement a custom ViewUrlManager to support them.

• ViewUrlHashManager - provides compatibility with routes used in ASP.NET applications created in v18.2 or earlier. With this format, URLs include View’s parameters as the fragment component, as shown below:

  .../Default.aspx#ViewID=Contact_ListView
.../Default.aspx#ViewID=Contact_DetailView&ObjectKey=ContactId&mode=Edit

Refer to the ASP.NET WebForms User-Friendly URLs for Views example to learn how to enable the user-friendly URL mechanism in your ASP.NET application.
