Change Default “Default.aspx” to “Index.aspx” on Visual Studio 2010

Question

Whenever I create a new Web Form on Visual Studio 2010, the default name is always \"Default.aspx\". This is a slight pain as I\'m having to change it to \"Index.aspx\" each

Answer 1

Although this does not cover all scenarios 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");
        }
    }
}

*You must remember to remove this code when deploying the code (or wrap in DEBUG statements)!
