I wish the default page of IIS to be a aspx page in the default web site directory.
I am unsure how to set this up.

Basically I want to replace the iisstart.asp page with a page that will redirect to one of a number of virtual directories within the default site based on the http_host address.

I have done this in classic asp in the past with good results but can not seem to get VS.NET to create a project at that default site level.

Can anyone inform me if what i wish is possible at all and if so how to go about it.

Hi Rod,

You *can* create a project at the root level of a site. Create a new ASP.NET Web app, and when asked for the location, type in http://ServerName or http://localhost. Make sure you're not using an ending slash.
Next, you get to choose the physical files dir. Make sure that the folder you select maps to http://ServerName (so IIS must be using the same folder) and everything should work fine.

Finally, you should change the default document in IIS, but that's no different than it was in classic asp.

Cheers,

Imar

Imar,

You are a true legend.
Thanks again for your valuable assistance.
I now see how silly my question was, but when learning new things I hesitate before ammending the defaults given by VS.NET.
Thanks again.

No need to feel silly. I have seen this question quite a lot of times, and I must say it's hard to figure out at first.
I found it out the hard way..... I am used to typing an ending slash after a domain name. So, I always type http://p2p.wrox.com/ for example.
In VS.NET, as soon as you type the /, the OK button becomes disabled, so for a long time, I thought you couldn't create applications in the root ;)

Cheers,
