IIS related ASP.NET page question

[Neil Zanella]

Hello,

I am using ASP.NET with IIS. I have set up a virtual directory called foo
so that when I point my web browser to http://localhost/foo/index.aspx I
can view the output of my ASP.NET web page index.aspx. What I would like
to do is the following:

1. point my web browser to http://localhost/foo/
2. have IIS automatically serve http://localhost/foo/index.aspx

Is there a way to configure IIS to accomplish this task?

Thanks,

Neil

You can set up default pages in the IIS configuration screen for your
application. It has some preset ones, and you can add any other ones.

Sure.

Go into the IIS Manager, open the properties for
the "foo" virtual directory, hit the "Documents" tab,
and add a default document page named "index.asp".

Then, move it to the top of the list, by clicking it,
and click the "Move Up" button until it reaches the top.

OK your way out, and you're good to go!

Aargh!

That should have been "index.aspx", of course.
Not "index.asp"

Sorry!

Excellent reply!

I followed your steps exactly as you describe them and added
"index.aspx" as one of the default document pages and it
works fantastically.

Thank you,
