new System.Web.Configuration.UrlMapping : string * string -> System.Web.Configuration.UrlMapping
Public Sub New (url As String, mappedUrl As String)

Remarks

The UrlMapping constructor is intended primarily for internal use by ASP.NET. You do not need to derive from this class, and because it can be used to modify the Web.config file, you will probably never need to use it in code.
