Custom URLRewriting with XML and Global.asax
utilizes my custom DocParser class here https://ronniediaz.com/2013/08/23/parse-xml-to-dynamic-expandoobject-c-net-4-0/
void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//string path = Request.Url.ToString();
string path = Request.Path;
if (Regex.IsMatch(path.ToLower(), ".*[.](jpg|png|gif|css|js|pdf|ico|woff|svg|eot|ttf)$"))
{
//var h = Regex.Replace(path.ToLower(), ".*/(.*)/(.*)$", "~/$1/$2", RegexOptions.Singleline);
//Context.RewritePath(path);
return;
}
//TODO: authorize user/request
DocParser dp = new DocParser(Server.MapPath("~/rewrite.xml"));
var rules = dp.GetElements("*/rule");
foreach (var r in rules)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(r.match_url)) {
Shared.HandleError("Global.asax::null or empty match_url encountered");
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(r.action_url))
{
Shared.HandleError("Global.asax::null or empty action_url encountered");
}
if (Regex.IsMatch(path, r.match_url,RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
{
List<object> qsvars = new List<object>();
foreach (Match m in Regex.Matches(path, r.match_url, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
{
for (int i=1;i<m.Groups.Count;i++)
{
qsvars.Add(m.Groups[i].Value);
}
}
//Context.RewritePath(string.Format(r.action_url,qsvars.ToArray()) + "&rewrite=1");
Context.RewritePath(string.Format(r.action_url, qsvars.ToArray()));
}
}
}

Validate Credit Card Numbers with Regular Expressions
Expressions below account for IIN numbers on CC’s of most major US issuers which includes validating starting character. These should be used in addition to Luhn Algorithm mod10 check.
These expressions can be used on clientside and codebehind to give your end users notification of invalid entry without wasting resources on a failed/invalid post. See snippet below. Expressions should technically be cross-platform.
Note: although very similar to those found on regular-expressions.info, there are some small differences which do not account for the old standards in my examples since these cards are no longer in circulation.
(C#)
string vs = @"((^4)[0-9]{15}$)|";
string mc = @"((^5[1-5])[0-9]{14}$)|";
string ax = @"((^3[4|7])[0-9]{14})$|";
string ds = @"(^6(011|5[0-9]{2})[0-9]{12}$)";
string expirationmonth = @"((^[0-9]$)|(^[0-9][0-2]$))";
string ordertotalamount = @"((^[0-9]{1,5}$)|(^[0-9]{1,5}\.[0-9]{1,2}$))"; //does not account for currency symbols
System.Text.StringBuilder sbexp = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i <= 20; i++) //create list of years from now+20. same range amazon uses for card
{
sbexp.Append("(^" + (DateTime.Now.Year + i).ToString() + "$)|");
if (i < 20) //don't append or on last
{
sbexp.Append((DateTime.Now.Year + i).ToString());
}
}
((RegularExpressionValidator)validator).ValidationExpression = sbexp.ToString();
((RegularExpressionValidator)validator).ValidationExpression = vs+mc+ax+ds;
