You can use IIS 7 URL Rewriting module

You can setup it from IIS or just place in your web.config the following under :

www to non-www

Alternatively you can make this redirection on global.asax.cs:

protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs ev)
{
    if (Request.Url.Host.StartsWith("www", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
    {
        Response.Clear();
        Response.AddHeader("Location", 
            String.Format("{0}://{1}{2}", Request.Url.Scheme, Request.Url.Host.Substring(4), Request.Url.PathAndQuery)
            );
        Response.StatusCode = 301;
        Response.End();
    }
}

But remeber what @Sam said, look here for more info.

non-www to www

Make a regex pattern to match your host and use {C:0} 1, 2, ..., N to get the matching groups.
