just some info.


If i have a link to "Butikken" then it works, it show www.mydomain.dk/Butikken (Real link www.mydomain.dk/default.aspx)
But first time loading the page as www.mydomain.dk then it show www.mydomain.dk/default.aspx and then my websitemap menu is not working, its not showing the css for selected/activ page/link for www.mydomain.dk/default.aspx
If i then click my logo or a link to "Butikken" then it refresh the page and show the www.mydomain.dk/Butikken and then my websitemap menu is working just fine.
How do i fix this "error" when users at visiting my site first time !?

The purpose of routing is to route from a url to a physical file. Bi-directional means a route can be decomposed from a url.
For initial request you can check Request.Url or something and do Response.Redirect.

Hi JohnH

I have tryed to make a code on the codebehind for the default.aspx page, but i get an NullRef error

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        If Request.UrlReferrer.AbsolutePath = "/default.aspx" Then
            Response.Redirect(Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Replace("/default.aspx", "/Butikken"))
        End If

    End Sub

I said Request.Url, not Reqest.UrlReferrer. UrlReferrer is irrelevant.
