ASP.NET: URL Masking

I have an ASP.NET web application where I have a Registration.aspx page and an .aspx home page. On my home page, I have a link to the signup.aspx page. I want to hide the extension.aspx file from the address bar when someone clicks on the registration link on the main page. I want to show it as http://mysite.com/signup . Is there any way to do this? I am using VS 2008

If you are using ASP.NET 3.5, you might find ASP.NET routing useful.

If your site is running ASP.NET 2.0, Helicon ISAPI Rewrite might be a good choice for you. This is an IIS filter that redirects requests to your pages according to a regex based config file. They have a free version for one website.

The easiest way is to just create a folder called "signup" with a default page that redirects to signup.aspx

Another option that is not related to URL rewriting is to use ASP.NET MVC Framework which handles such things easily.
