Remarks

The UrlMapping class allows you to map a URL that is displayed to users to a URL that exists in your Web application. Adding a UrlMapping object to a UrlMappingCollection is the programmatic equivalent to including an add element in the urlMappings section of a configuration file.

Each UrlMapping object contains two properties identifying a URL. One property specifies the URL shown to the user; the other specifies a URL in your Web application. Trailing white-space characters are ignored in both the Url and MappedUrl properties.

Note

The UrlMapping property can write information into the related section of the configuration file according to the restrictions defined by the section property AllowDefinition whose value is MachineToApplication. Any attempt to write in a configuration file at a level not allowed in the hierarchy will result in an error message generated by the parser. However, you can use this class to read configuration information at any level in the hierarchy.

Constructors

UrlMapping(String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the UrlMapping class.

Properties

CurrentConfiguration	Gets a reference to the top-level Configuration instance that represents the configuration hierarchy that the current ConfigurationElement instance belongs to. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ElementInformation	Gets an ElementInformation object that contains the non-customizable information and functionality of the ConfigurationElement object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ElementProperty	Gets the ConfigurationElementProperty object that represents the ConfigurationElement object itself. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
EvaluationContext	Gets the ContextInformation object for the ConfigurationElement object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
HasContext	Gets a value that indicates whether the CurrentConfiguration property is `null`. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Item[ConfigurationProperty]	Gets or sets a property or attribute of this configuration element. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Item[String]	Gets or sets a property, attribute, or child element of this configuration element. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockAllAttributesExcept	Gets the collection of locked attributes. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockAllElementsExcept	Gets the collection of locked elements. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockAttributes	Gets the collection of locked attributes. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockElements	Gets the collection of locked elements. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
LockItem	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is locked. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
MappedUrl	A URL in your Web application.
Properties	Gets the collection of properties. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Url	Gets the URL that is displayed to the user.

Methods

DeserializeElement(XmlReader, Boolean)	Reads XML from the configuration file. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Equals(Object)	Compares the current ConfigurationElement instance to the specified object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
GetHashCode()	Gets a unique value representing the current ConfigurationElement instance. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
GetTransformedAssemblyString(String)	Returns the transformed version of the specified assembly name. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
GetTransformedTypeString(String)	Returns the transformed version of the specified type name. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
Init()	Sets the ConfigurationElement object to its initial state. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
InitializeDefault()	Used to initialize a default set of values for the ConfigurationElement object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
IsModified()	Indicates whether this configuration element has been modified since it was last saved or loaded, when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
IsReadOnly()	Gets a value indicating whether the ConfigurationElement object is read-only. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ListErrors(IList)	Adds the invalid-property errors in this ConfigurationElement object, and in all subelements, to the passed list. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
OnDeserializeUnrecognizedAttribute(String, String)	Gets a value indicating whether an unknown attribute is encountered during deserialization. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
OnDeserializeUnrecognizedElement(String, XmlReader)	Gets a value indicating whether an unknown element is encountered during deserialization. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
OnRequiredPropertyNotFound(String)	Throws an exception when a required property is not found. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
PostDeserialize()	Called after deserialization. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
PreSerialize(XmlWriter)	Called before serialization. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Reset(ConfigurationElement)	Resets the internal state of the ConfigurationElement object, including the locks and the properties collections. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ResetModified()	Resets the value of the IsModified() method to `false` when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
SerializeElement(XmlWriter, Boolean)	Writes the contents of this configuration element to the configuration file when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
SerializeToXmlElement(XmlWriter, String)	Writes the outer tags of this configuration element to the configuration file when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
SetPropertyValue(ConfigurationProperty, Object, Boolean)	Sets a property to the specified value. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
SetReadOnly()	Sets the IsReadOnly() property for the ConfigurationElement object and all subelements. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
Unmerge(ConfigurationElement, ConfigurationElement, ConfigurationSaveMode)	Modifies the ConfigurationElement object to remove all values that should not be saved. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
