Is it possible to config "default page" in web.config?

[Morgan Cheng]

Without IIS configuration, is it possible to set "default page" in
web.config?

I am curious about that because I am developing in VS2005 with ASP.NET
Development Server. I want to config it with web.config.

Thanks.

You could perhaps use the urlMappings section to do that.

My personal preference would be to keep the default "default page".

IIS7 is supposed to allow you to configure the default document from
web.config. See:

As Patrice mentioned, something like this would probably work in ASP.NET 2.0:

<system.web>
<urlMappings>
<add url="~/Default.aspx" mappedUrl="~/CustomStartPage.aspx"/>
</urlMappings>
</system.web>
