ASP.NET MVC Url Masking/Rewriting - asp.net-mvc

Let us say I have a url of subdomain.domain.com. Is there a way in ASP.NET MVC to have a url of say otherdomain.com/gotothesubdomain that takes you to subdomain.domain.com? I know that a simple redirect could do it, but I want the url to stay as otherdomain.com/gotothesubdomain.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks!

Assuming that you have 2 separate applications then you would need to grab the page as a string and then render it, here are some potential starting points - WebRequest/WebResponse, Html.RenderPartial in the mvc source or you could have a look at JoeyB's article.
It may be helpful to look at Luke Sampsons article that explains how to have multiple sub-domains in one mvc application, may help with your scenario?

What is meant by URL routing?

Can any one explain me what URL routing is meant by? And try to give me small example also so that I can understand more.
If you write http://www.example.com/sample
and the browser opens
http://www.example.com/sample.aspx
or
http://www.example.com/sample.php
page then it would be called as URL Routing Rewriting
for example you can visit this link
http://intelliscence.co.uk/fd/
http://intelliscence.co.uk/fd/default.aspx
both link open the same page
The ASP.NET Routing module is responsible for mapping incoming browser requests to particular MVC controller actions.
I can give lot more explanation here, but you will benefit more from reading this article from Asp.net website :- ASP.NET MVC Routing

Multiple URLs and single codebase with ASP.NET MVC

I'm pretty new to ASP.NET MVC and I just want ask of this scenario is possible and, if so, could anybody provide any resource links on how to implement it.
Say I have a site that can be accessed from www.mysite.com, can I also have the same site load up through www.mysite2com, www.mysite3.com and so on? effectively providing the ability to run multiple sites from a single code base?
The idea is to have the site content and style sheet change depending on site visited but keep the structure the same.
thank you very much for any help you can provide :)

Yes, this is possible

This example uses subdomains of the same domain but nothing stops you from using the same logic and have different images/CSS/paths etc generated based on full HOST/domain name

ASP.NET MVC web site template

I would like to download ASP.NET MVC web site template. Please guide me where can i find and how i can use. I'm new to this pattern. Thanks in advance.
You can try starting at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd410597.aspx
it already starts with a little code and design to show you the basics then walks you through a few more things like how controllers work, how a model can be used to simplify dealing with posted values and common content etc.
Here you go!
http://mvccontribgallery.codeplex.com/ - design templates
http://www.asp.net/mvc - look # the sample application section (open source, good tutorials included)
Guys from http://pixelsinspired.com are starting something you may be interested in. There is only one template, but it is free and looks great.

Form to add products to the database on asp.net Mvc2

Its my first time with asp.net MVC 2. Im came from asp.net webforms.
I would like to know how to build a form to add products (for instance) to a database with client and server validation.
Do you have any url useful that explains this?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
Josema.
Try looking through Jon Galloway's MVC Music Store, it's a demo application that might help you. Otherwise the MVC2 articles on Scott Guthrie's Blog will also give you the basics.
This is a very broad question. There are many tutorials out there on how to perform this. For example as far as validation is concerned you might look at DataAnnotations which allow you to annotate your view models with attributes which will be used to perform server side and client side validation (if you enable it). For more advanced scenarios you could also take a look at FluentValidation.

ASP.net MVC HomeController URL

By default the MVC Preview 5 web project comes with a HomeController.vb class. This sets the web URL to http://www.mywebsite.com/home/ by default. If I just wanted this to be http://www.mywebsite.com/ by default, how would I accomplish that?
Answered already so I'm just going to direct you to How do I get rid of Home in ASP.Net MVC?.
Users with 10k+ rep can also refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33861/aspnet-mvc-routing-basics-root-route (deleted)
I'm not sure I understand your question, if what you want is to go to http://www.mywebsite.com/ and not have it be trailed by /home, that is the behavior you will get.
Is there something else you were looking for?
