Answer 1

This solution uses URLRewriter which is available in IIS7. It is independent of your .net version.

<rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="RewritePartner">
          <match url="^Partner/([A-Za-z]+)/(.+)" ignoreCase="false"/>
          <conditions>
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
          </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" url="Handler/Partner.aspx?partner={R:1}&amp;query={R:2}"/>
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
