ASP.NET Default Document

I have removed the default.aspx from my web application. Now when I run the application it only displays the contents of the directory in the browser. May I ask where the line of code/setting is to change the entry point to the site, for example the first page served is forum.aspx and not default.aspx

Regards

this is an IIS setting. http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/defaultDocument — Aristos, May 16 '12 at 15:42
so a web application must always use a Default.aspx? IIS dictates this? — user1392324, May 16 '12 at 15:43
no, you can setup this also on web.config -> http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/defaultDocument — Aristos, May 16 '12 at 15:44

Not really enough detail in this question. Do you mean on IIS? If so which version of IIS? — Kev, May 16 '12 at 16:13

The default document, is an IIS setting. You can change it also from web.config using this as sample:

<configuration>
   <system.webServer>
      <defaultDocument enabled="true">
         <files>
            <add value="home.html" />
         </files>
      </defaultDocument>
   </system.webServer>
</configuration>
