  Rewrite rules render querystring useless Reply Contact Hello.  I have a URL that functions fine with no rewrite rules. http://www.mysite.com/manufacturer.aspx?mfg=h The aspx page filters a SQLDataSource result set by the querystring ID.  If I turn on just the following 2 (extensionless page) rules (see below), my URL looks like this: http://www.mysite.com/manufacturer?mfg=h ...However, the aspx page then behaves as if there is no querystring parameter of mfg.  In my code-beside, the following expression is true, but should be false: String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString("mfg")) My 2 rules ------------- <rule name="RedirectToExtensionlessURLs" enabled="true"> <match url="(.*).aspx" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> <rule name="ExtensionlessURLs" enabled="true"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" negate="true" pattern="(.*).aspx" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}.aspx" appendQueryString="false" /> </rule> --------- Cordially, Lee

  Re: Rewrite rules render querystring useless Reply Contact Okay, as soon as I saw my post, it became clear that the ExtensionlessURLs rule had appendQueryString set to false.  I just tried setting it to true, and my page now works.   It's a bit confusing that with it set to false, the querystring parameter/value pair still shows in the address bar URL; yet, it was not passed through to ASP.Net.  I guess that could make sense, though.
