One fairly interesting little article I read of late is [Rewrite.NET](http://www.15seconds.com/issue/030522.htm), this is by far the best implementation of Url rewriting that I've seen for ASP.NET.
In case you're not aware what Url Rewriting is, it is basically a way of providing more friendly URLs for accessing items on a web site - an example may be for portal apps, where your contact page may be [http://&lt;site&gt;/default.aspx?tabid=16](http://&lt;site&gt;/default.aspx?tabid=16) , instead you want [http://&lt;site&gt;/contact.aspx](http://&lt;site&gt;/contact.aspx) - well that's where [Rewrite.NET](http://www.15seconds.com/issue/030522.htm) will help you out!
