Answer 1

change your webconfig with below code:it solve my same problem.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="default.aspx Redirect" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^(.*\/)*default\.aspx$" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_METHOD}" negate="true" pattern="^POST$" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent"/>
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Answer 2

you can use Routing

in Global.asax file

     protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);  
    }

    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.MapPageRoute("defualt",
                            "",
                        "~/Default.aspx");
    }

and in your redirection page call

Response.Redirect(GetRouteUrl("defualt", null));

Answer 3

By default your default page can vary it can be default.html or index.html or default.aspx depending on the preference. So if you just want to remove it from URL you have mentioned dont specify page name and default.aspx opens by default and wont be visible in url as well

Whereas if you want to do URL rewriting,there are various ways you can do this, you can make changes in web.config or can have a httpModule of your own have a look at below link:-

Answer 4

You can use the Uri class

var uri = new Uri("http://www.mywebsite.com/default.aspx");
string urlIWant = uri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);
