Disable auto Friendly URLs in a Web Form project

Question

I created a C# web form project in Visual Studio 2013. When I run my sample.aspx page, the page automatically uses the /sample friendly URL routing.

I want to handle the routing myself manually and not let .NET to do it automatically. How can I disable the friendly URL feature. I don't want it uninstalled via NuGet, but only disabled in code.

You could also just set the AutoRedirect mode to Off. This kinda gives you the best of both worlds.

    public static class RouteConfig
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        var settings = new FriendlyUrlSettings();
        settings.AutoRedirectMode = RedirectMode.Off;
        routes.EnableFriendlyUrls(settings);
    }
}

In your solution, open RouteConfig.cs (in the App_Start directory) and comment out or remove this line

    routes.EnableFriendlyUrls();

It doesn't work for me. Nothing I do make the friendly URL walk away :( – Liron Harel Jul 22 '16 at 01:32

@IdanShechter - I wrestled with this same thing. I couldn't figure out how it was still trying to redirect to the Friendly Urls, even with every part of it removed from my app. Then I realized it was using HTTP 301 *permanent* redirect. Clearing my browser cache fixed the issue. – Daniel Schilling May 16 '17 at 15:12

After uninstalling the NUGET package and deleting all the dll you must clear the browser cache

Worked for me. Sometimes we just need to be reminded of the obvious. +1 – Yogi May 26 '19 at 15:15
I did not uninstall the pkg, but the hint on clearing the browser cache helped me a lot :-) – Roland Oct 18 '21 at 08:30
