Hey, guys. Could anybody tell me how can i achieve url rewrite on an IIS server as i can do with the .htaccess on an apache server? thanks

There are various 3rd party apps that will help with this. However, here's an article from Microsoft: URL Rewriting in ASP.NET [msdn.microsoft.com]

is it possible to put a file in the directory as .htaccess in apache instead of change the configuration file? because i don't have the permission to change the configuration file.

If you have the option of having a "custom 404 page" you can do a re-write with it. I've seen sites with hundreds of thousands of "Ghost" pages using this function in IIS.

With IIS you will need access to some of the server management tools. If you don't have access to these settings maybe your host could make the changes for you.
