One way to achieve this is to add a DefaultDocument settings in the Web config     lt system webServer gt      lt defaultDocument gt       lt files gt         lt clear   gt         lt add value  quot DefaultPage aspx quot    gt       lt  files gt      lt  defaultDocument gt     lt  system webServer gt

If you are running against IIS rather than the VS webdev server  ensure that Index aspx is one of your default files and that directory browsing is turned off

Similar to zproxy s answer above I have used the folowing code in the Gloabal asax cs to achieve this   public class Global   System Web HttpApplication       protected void Application BeginRequest object sender  EventArgs e                if  Request Url AbsolutePath EndsWith                             Server Transfer Request Url AbsolutePath    index aspx

The built-in webserver is hardwired to use Default aspx as the default page    The project must have atleast an empty Default aspx file to overcome the Directory Listing problem for Global asax       Once you add that empty file all requests can be handled in one location   public class Global   System Web HttpApplication       protected void Application BeginRequest object sender  EventArgs e                this Response Write  hi      this Request Path         this Request QueryString           this Response StatusCode   200          this Response ContentType    text plain            this Response End
