The one that I’ve used and highly recommend is UrlRewriting.net. (There is another one - also free - called UrlRewriter.net but one that I’ve had not too great experiences with.)

To get UrlRewriting.net to work, simply Add Reference the provided DLL into the ASP.NET Visual Studion Project.  Next edit Web.config and make changes on the

<configSections>, <system.web>, <system.webServer>, finally create a new section, <urlrewritingnet> in which you’ll add the “rules” for the rewriting

FAQ’s

1. What is BOSS and what can it do for you?

   BOSS (Build your Own Search Service) is an API to tap into Yahoo’s prized search infrastructure. It allows developers, start ups and established consumer Internet companies to leverage the power of Yahoo!

2. How is BOSS different from other APIs?

   There are plenty of APIs out there in the search space. Some of them give you an iframe or a widget. The current Search API is designed for rapid development of search applications and mash ups. BOSS is an extension of that concept but for the first time developers can tap into our search infrastructure and build applications for commercial use without restrictions around presentation or ordering of results. You can take BOSS results, blend in your own secret sauce, and build a search engine of your own design, all without required brand attribution.

3. Which search content can I find through BOSS?

   With this first release of BOSS developers can fetch search content for Web, News, Image, and Spelling Suggestions. Other search verticals and data sources are coming soon.

You’re probably already familiar with Memcached - it’s a highly efficient distributed caching system. It’s used generously by all the big web 2.0 players (In may 2007 it was revealed that Facebook relies on 200 16GB quad-core dedicated Memcached servers). Interest in Memcached from the .NET community has been relatively low (although over the last year more and more people are talking about it).

Fundamentally, there are two problems with the ASP.NET built-in cache. First, it’s limited to the memory of a single system which happens to be shared with the rest of your application domain. Secondly, if you have two servers, each with their own in-memory cache, users are likely to see very weird synching issues. Memcached isn’t as fast as in-memory caching, but will scale to virtually unlimited amount of memory. There isn’t any redundancy of failover, simply memory spread across multiple servers.

The best part is that it literally takes seconds to get it up and running.
