Friendly URL vs ugly querystring URL SharePoint, HTTPModule?

I am developing an application in SharePoint 2010.

What now I have to resolve is the following: I have a list of news. Each one has an ID and Title.

I have one SharePoint page that knows how to display them.

I need that instead of linking each news as: http://sharepoint/news/viewnews.aspx?title=MySharePointNews01

Be as the following: http://sharepoint/news/MySharePointNews01

I think tha writing an HttpModule and doing Server.Transfer to the Viewnews.aspx will accomplish this.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

  • Have a look at the IIS URL Rewrite module. It will do exactly what you are looking for without having to write any code. This article explains it pretty clear:
