Can you post a "Short but complete" code sample that illustrates your issue?

Re: Forcing browser to reload the "same page" with "mapped URL"

web.config:

....







default.aspx:
Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Server.Transfer(Me.Request.RawUrl)
End Sub

Protected Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Response.Redirect(Me.Request.RawUrl, False)
End Sub

Protected Sub Button2_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Load
Button2.Text = "redirect " & Me.Request.RawUrl
End Sub
End Class

Now I visit the page jake.aspx (which doesn't exist : it is a mapped file).
My browser shows Jake.aspx
I click any of the buttons to "refresh" the current page (I change the
language of the current thread in the meantime).
My browser shows Default.aspx. But I want it to be jake.aspx

Re: Forcing browser to reload the "same page" with "mapped URL"

It's a common problem with URL rewriting.
I am not sure how works. I always did my own custom URL
rewrite... So you will have to dig a little to find a remedy.

but here is the problem...

Re: Forcing browser to reload the "same page" with "mapped URL"

Hello George,

All I needed to do was add code
Protected Sub Page_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreRender
Me.Context.RewritePath(Me.Request.RawUrl)
End Sub
to my page to make it work. I didn't know about the *rewritePath* trick.
But it will sure go into my basket
I checked with SiteMapPath control and this one is also very happy.

Thanks a lot.
Van den Driessche Willy.

Re: Forcing browser to reload the "same page" with "mapped URL"

Cool, that was easier than I thought.
I thought that RawUrl will point to already rewritten Url.

George.
