Start pages?

[andycharger]

I have a web solution im building in .net and I originally built a default.htm page just to see if it works.
However, now, I have a webform.aspx page I want as the default start page when my appication starts.
(i.e. when someone types localhost\inet1)
I have right clicked and set the page as the start page but my application still points to the original page.
is there a reason why my project does not go to the new location?

You have to set the default document in IIS under the Documents tab of the Properties page.

Start pages of your project are not recognized direclty by IIS what you can do is create a Default.htm and Redirect it directly to
Webform1.aspx

Works but what when its live?

So when it goes onto the web server, it needs a default.htm with a redirect, yes?
I set the webform1.aspx on my local machine iis as the default and it worked. I guess once it been set up on the web server thought remotely, it will need the default.htm to be recognised?
Is this correct?

No either you set it as the default or you create a default with a redirect

Or you call your WebForm aspx page "index.aspx" or "default.aspx"
