UrlMapping Constructor (String, String)

 

Initializes a new instance of the UrlMapping class.

Namespace:   System.Web.Configuration
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

public UrlMapping(
	string url,
	string mappedUrl
)

Parameters

url
Type: System.String

The URL to be displayed to the user.

mappedUrl
Type: System.String

A URL that exists in your Web application.

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.

The following example uses the UrlMappingsSection of the Web.config file to map two URLs, and adds a mapping for an additional URL. When you modify and save the Web.config file, your application restarts.
