Is there any section or code which allows us to set default page in web.config
?
For example, when people first visit my website, I want them to see CreateThing.aspx
rather than Default.aspx
.
The solutions I already know:
Put this line of code => Response.Redirect("CreateThings.aspx")
in Default.aspx
Page_Load
event but this method is really naive.
We can use IIS (default page configuration,) but I wanna do the same thing over on my ASP.NET application.
This could be another solution for now:
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear />
<add value="Default.aspx" />
<add value="Default.htm" />
<add value="Default.asp" />
<add value="index.htm" />
<add value="index.html" />
<add value="iisstart.htm" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
If using IIS 7 or IIS 7.5 you can use
<system.webServer>
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear />
<add value="CreateThing.aspx" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>
