Hi

I want to create a dynamic web page which is only created when the
users browser requests it. eg

www.mydomain.com/jim.wilson.aspx
or www.mydomain.com/bill.smith.htm

2 questions:

1.
I know that the use of Period / Stop / . is primarily to separate the
page neme from the page type eg mypage.htm or mypage.asp and that the .
is not normally used within a page name.

The use of the Period / Stop / . works ok when I create a page in
Frontpage eg test.page.htm but I have not tested it on a live server.

Will the . work as described above?

2.
Using ASP.net is it practical to create my requirements where the page
is generated 'on the fly' ie Jim.Wilson's page is only generated when
someone requests that specific url?

I know that some sites I visit with an invalid url return a default
message with an index page (rather than a '404'), so I am assuming that
good asp programming could also dynamically generate jim.wilson.aspx

Thanks ColinK
