When ASP.NET MVC 2 couldn't find a particular view page, it will throw an exception something as below which shows that the view engine looks up the view page twice under ~/Areas/Notices/Views/ folder. But why? Is this a bug in the view engine, thanks.

Server Error in '/ISS' Application.

Hi there,
This error occur usually when you don't set the start action.. To set the start action follow this:
In every application there is a Global.asax. Open that file and set the startup controller and action name.

C#

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
                "Default", // Route name
                "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
            );

        }

In this scenario I want to execute "Index" action of "Home" controller..

All the best
