<p>Python frameworks always provide ways to handle URLs that convey the data of the request in an elegant way, like for example <a href="http://somewhere.overtherainbow.com/userid/123424/" rel="noreferrer">http://somewhere.overtherainbow.com/userid/123424/</a></p>

<p>I want you to notice the ending path <strong>/userid/123424/</strong></p>

<p>How do you do this in ASP.NET?</p>

Also, check out ASP.NET MVC or if you're set on webforms, the new System.Web.Routing namespace in ASP.NET 3.5 SP1
