How to provide short and user-friendly URLs for XAF Web ViewsHello,
I want to change the url when the end-user is navigating .
Sample:
The URL when any user is navigating = http://localhost:2064/default.aspx#ViewID=EnviarPedidoWeb_ListView&ObjectClassName=VendasWeb.Module.BusinessObjects.PedidoWeb
I want to change for : http://localhost:2064/default.aspx (generic) or http://localhost:2064/EnviarPedido (or for page)…
How I make this?
Hello,
We've simplified URL customization for ListViews and DetailViews in Web apps with the new RouteManager API in v19.1. For example, you can now customize URLs to match the following highly requested format:
BEFORE:
*/Default.aspx#ViewID=Contact_ListView
*/Default.aspx#ViewID=Contact_DetailView&ObjectKey=ContactId
AFTER:
*/Contact_ListView/
*/Contact_DetailView/ContactId/
To make sure that our future implementation meets your business requirements, we would greatly appreciate it if you test our early access preview version. Read this knowledge base article to learn more about this new capability.
Thank you for your time and cooperation,
Arkady
Hello Nathan.
While we don't provide a solution to completely remove he fragment identifier from the URL or to replace the page name with something else, you can change the representation of the ViewShortcut in the URL (the fragment identifier part). For this, create a DefaultHttpRequestManager descendant and override the GetQueryString and GetViewShortcut methods. To use a custom request manager, override the WebApplication.CreateHttpRequestManager method, create the custom request manager instance, and return it. Refer to the How to provide short and user-friendly URLs for XAF Web Views ticket.
Attached is an example demonstrating a possible solution to replace URLs for some predefined views. Feel free to extend it with more sophisticated logic according to your requirements.
Hello Michael,
I tried to convert the VB to C# code but I can't to make.
Do you can to provide a converted example for me?
We don't have a ready C# example at the moment, because the VB project posted in that ticket was provided by the customer. We need additional time to create a C# example. I will update this thread once we have any result.
At the moment you can find some freely available VB to C# converters on the Internet.
I have created a simplified example that demonstrates how a custom request manager can be implemented to change view URLs. It is attached to my answer.
Let me know if you have additional questions.

Processing detail views requires more complex logic because their URLs include additional parameters (the current ObjectKey, ViewEditMode, etc.). You should examine all items of the ViewShortcut (it is a regular dictionary) passed in the GetQueryString method and decide how to translate them to a custom URL. Then, implement the reverse transformation in the GetViewShortcut method. The exact solution depends on your requirements.
Thank you Michael,
I did function GetQueryString to return blank always…
For this project it's sufficient …
You're welcome. Should you have additional questions, please let me know.
