passing variables

bono56 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-02-09, 03:23

hi
I always use query string for passing variables like this:

www.mysite.com/?id=666

but recently i saw websites that pass variables through address like this:

www.mysite.com/666/

can anyone describe how's this?

It's called URL re-writing.

This blog post seems like a good example: Tip/Trick: Url Rewriting with ASP.NET - ScottGu's Blog
