You can use the concept of url rewritting.

Did you look at Url Routing. It is easier than Url Rewrite

Hi,

Try this

C#

using System;
using System.Web.Routing;

namespace UrlRewriting
{
    public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {

        protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }

        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routeCollection)
        {
            routeCollection.MapPageRoute("RouteForCustomer", "{Id}", "~/User.aspx");
        }

    }
}
